USB to ethernet support for Eboot - Help

[Mekas]

Hi,

I'm working on OMAP processor. My board doesnt have ETHERNET. I have two
questions.

1. Can i use my USB OTG to download the nk.bin image as well as Kernel
debugging support. Whether this is possible. I hope KITL will support USB.

2. Can i use a USB OTG to Ethernet adapter. So that for the device it will
be USB and for target system it will be ethernet. I want to download the
image as well as kernel debugging facility should be available.

In Mainstone BSP they have implemented some USB related things. I didnt get
the exact thing. Which facility they have implemented.
Please advice.

Regards,
Kumar

In he ARUBABOARD (OMAP5912) BSP in Windows CE 6.0, eboot implements RNDIS to
download the image:
this means that if you connect your PC to the USB device port, the device
will be seen as a network adapter.
You can use hat design as a reference. anyway, to be honest, I have never
used that BSP! The MSIII BSP bootloader
works in a similar way

Hi,

This means whether the Arubaboard USB port is connected to host system's USB
port. Our device will be seen as network adapter. Please clarify.

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the reply. We have a SDP OMAP2420 board. In the bootloader i've
seen in the sources file that rndis driver is linked.

So i hope i've to install RNDIS driver in host system also. Right? Does
anybody knows the steps to download nk.bin via USB RNDIS.

Whether it is same as like KITL ethernet download. Please clarify

Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Dean,

I've gone through the other post and i've done the steps like this.

1. Downloaded Remote NDIS USB Driver Kit.
2. Extracted those files.
3. As per the readme in
WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\ETHDBG\RNDISMINI\HOST folder, i've
installed the RNDIS drivers by using "Add New Hardware Wizard".
4. Once i done this, in device manager Windows CE RNDIS Network Adapter came
but with exclamation marks.(with code 32)
5. I've seen VID and PID in the details tab of the driver properties.

After this i couldnt continue the steps mentioned the readme file. My system
is Windows XP SP2 and i didnt connect SDP2420 board USB port. If i connect
then USB device not recognized indication came.

In the readme file, and in the USB8023.inf file, the driver name is
USB8023.sys and rndismp.sys. But the driver kit i downloaded from MSDN has
driver names USB8023y.sys and rndismpy.sys. Whether this driver is different,
The readme file is explaining things for a Windows 2000 SP4.

Expecting your suggestions.

Kumar

Hi,

This is the device status i'm getting

Windows cannot determine the settings for this device. Consult the
documentation that came with this device and use the Resource tab to set the
configuration. (Code 34)

We haven't yet got a Working USB Ethernet Download Functionality. Right now
we are not working on it.

By the way how you loaded Host side driver ?

I mean as you said the drivers are with the name _y.sys.

Is it by removing y at the end of the names ?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Ya i loaded the driver by renaming it only. But those drivers are for
Windows 2000. But in XP SP2 they provided built in RNDIS drivers (
rndismpx.sys usb8023x.sys) . So i tried to load it also using that Windows CE
provided inf file. But im not able to succeed.

Driver is installed but the yellow exclamation mark is ther. When i connect
the board which has bootloader with RNDIS support, USB not recognized
warning is coming.

Now the problem is loading the driver in Windows XP SP2 machine. Have you
installed successfully.
