EBOOT FOR RTL8111C FOR CE 6.0

Dear ALL,
I am starting this thread because it seems to be the ONLY place where
someone has same problems which I have and find good help.
In this case : I am trying to make up a correct eboot file
(for CE 6.0) where the cpu board has the RTL8111C chipset.
Quite funny, the RTL8111C is used in almost 95% of industrial ATOM-based sbc.
But Realtek does not provide support. We could find the driver for the image
(we use a workaround and force it at "make" level step), so our nk.bin image
is correct and works.
But the only way to start a debug session is to plug one RTL8139 lan card in
the pci slot and use it.
I could NOT find so far any support for eboot for the RTL8111C. So we can't
work with the boards which do not have any expansion slot.
Anyone can help me? Anyone has an idea where I can
find help and support for RTL8111C eboot?
Thanks so much to you

Paolo Bozzola

If RealTek does not plan to provide the KITL driver, then you probably need
to create by your own.

Dear KMOS,
any suggestion / example about how to build up this?
Thanks
Paolo

See the sample ethernet KITL Driver in the bellow given path.
\WINCE600\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\COMMON\ETHDRV
There are four sample driver in this path
RTL8139
LAN91C
CS8900A
AM79C973

In addition to that, see the bellow given link "Adding KITL Initialization
Code"

Read the "Adding KITL Initialization Code" link.
Take mainstoneIII BSP as a example and it is using SMSC91C111 chip. I have
given an idea. Just go through the bellow given source files, you will get an
idea.

* see the following entry in the
\WINCE600\PLATFORM\MAINSTONEIII\SRC\INC\kitl_cfg.h file.
OAL_KITL_ETH_DRIVER g_kitlEthSMSC91C111 = OAL_ETHDRV_LAN91C;

* To under stand the OAL_KITL_ETH_DRIVER structure, See the
\WINCE600\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\OAL_Kitl.h header file

* See the following Sources file entry in the
D:\WINCE600\PLATFORM\MAINSTONEIII\SRC\KITL.
TARGETLIBS= \
...
...
$(_PLATCOMMONLIB)\$(_CPUINDPATH)\oal_ethdrv_lan91c.lib \

SMSC91C11 driver is linked with the KITL.

Sorry I misunderstood your question. Previously given explainations are used
to implement the Custom KITL driver for kernel.
To use the same driver in EBoot, see the
WINCE600\PLATFORM\MAINSTONEIII\SRC\BOOTLOADER\ether.c file and see the
\WINCE600\PLATFORM\MAINSTONEIII\SRC\BOOTLOADER\EBOOT\sources file to link the

TARGETLIBS= \
...
...
$(_PLATCOMMONLIB)\$(_CPUINDPATH)\oal_ethdrv_lan91c.lib \

Hi,
I'm working with Paolo Bozzola an try to make eboot working from floppy
with Rtl8111c.
I don't have the source. I have only the dll (rtcenic.dll).
This dll works fine into the nk.bin image as Paolo said.

So is it possible to create an eboot that use such rtcenic.dll form?
Can I use any workaround or anything else?
Thanks

The short answer is No.
KITL Driver and NDIS miniport driver are totally different.
Ask RealTek if they plan to support KITL driver on this chip.
I not, get the datasheet of the chip and use the resources Vinoth indicated
to create your own KITL driver is the best chance.
KITL driver is simple, so don't be afraid to write one and you may also find
some open source driver from Linux.
