NOTE: The MMU has been set up to relocate the VRC4372 supported devices mapped at physical addresses
0x8xxxxxxx to virtual addresses 0xCxxxxxxx.
Ethernet Driver
The ethernet driver is in two parts:
A generic ether driver for the Intel i21143 device is located in
devs/eth/intel/i21143
. Its package name is
CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_INTEL_I21143
.
The
platform-specific
ether
driver
is
devs/eth/mips/vrc4375
.
Its
package
is
CYG-
PKG_DEVS_ETH_MIPS_VRC4375
. This tells the generic driver the address in IO memory of the chip, for example,
and other configuration details. The ESA (MAC address) is by default collected from on-board serial EEPROM,
unless configured statically within this package.
Rebuilding RedBoot
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information needed for building RedBoot according to the
procedure described in
export TARGET=vrc4373
export ARCH_DIR=mips
export PLATFORM_DIR=vrc4373
The names of configuration files are listed above with the description of the associated modes.

Overview
RedBoot uses the SMC1 serial port. The default serial port settings are 38400,8,N,1. Ethernet is also supported
using the RJ-45 connector. Management of onboard flash is also supported.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:
