Instead of +delaying the boot process in all cases, we just start the +autonegotiation process when U-Boot comes up and that is all. Most +likely, it will complete by the time the network transfer is +attempted for the first time. In the worst case, if a transfer is +attempted before the autonegotiation is complete, just a single +packet would be lost resulting in a single timeout error, and then +the transfer would proceed normally. So the time that we would have +lost unconditionally waiting for the autonegotiation to complete, we +have to wait only if the file transfer is started immediately after +reset. We've verified that this works for all the clock +configurations. + (C) 2003 Wolfgang Denk |
