Installation:
=============
Assume your target platform is equipped with
VIA Rhine Family Fast Ethernet Adapter, the platform is "CEPC:X86".
Installation and test instructions are described below.
1. Copy binary library files
(1) Retail build:
Copy the following files to directory
\WINCE420\public\common\oak\LIB\X86\RETAIL
\Retail\fetdbg.lib
\Retail\fetdbg.pdb
(2) Debug build:
Copy the following files to directory
\WINCE420\public\common\oak\LIB\X86\DEBUG
\Debug\fetdbg.lib
\Debug\fetdbg.pdb
2. Modify the "Sources" files
Locate respectively the "Sources" files in the two directories
\WINCE420\PLATFORM\CEPC\KERNEL\BUILDEXE\KERNKITL
\WINCE420\PLATFORM\CEPC\KERNEL\BUILDEXE\KERNKITLPROF
and add one extra lines below for the TARGETLIBS environment variable:
$(_COMMONOAKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUDEPPATH)\fetdbg.lib \
A sample "Sources" file is included for your reference.
3. Modify HALETHER.C
Locate the HALETHER.C file in directory \WINCE420\PLATFORM\CEPC\KERNEL\HAL
and add the following codes in the "switch (pBootArgs->ucEdbgAdapterType)" statement
in the OEMEthInit() function:
case EDBG_ADAPTER_FET:
pfnEDbgInit = FETInit;
pfnEDbgInitDMA = FETInitDMABuffer;
pfnEDbgEnableInts = FETEnableInts;
pfnEDbgDisableInts = FETDisableInts;
pfnEDbgGetPendingInts = FETGetPendingInts;
pfnEDbgGetFrame = FETGetFrame;
pfnEDbgSendFrame = FETSendFrame;
pfnEDbgReadEEPROM = FETReadEEPROM;
pfnEDbgWriteEEPROM = FETWriteEEPROM;
pfnEDbgSetOptions = FETSetOptions;
pfnCurrentPacketFilter= FETCurrentPacketFilter;
pfnMulticastList = FETMulticastList;
break;
A sample HALETHER.C file is included for your reference.
4. Modify halether.h
Locate the halether.h file in directory \WINCE420\public\common\oak\INC
and add the following lines:
#define EDBG_ADAPTER_FET 65
// Prototypes for FETDBG.LIB functions
BOOL FETInitDMABuffer(DWORD dwStartAddress, DWORD dwSize);
BOOL FETInit( BYTE *pbBaseAddress, DWORD dwMultiplier, USHORT MacAddr[3]);
void FETEnableInts(void);
void FETDisableInts(void);
DWORD FETGetPendingInts(void);
UINT16 FETGetFrame( BYTE *pbData, UINT16 *pwLength );
UINT16 FETSendFrame( BYTE *pbData, DWORD dwLength );
BOOL FETReadEEPROM( UINT16 EEPROMAddress, UINT16 *pwVal);
BOOL FETWriteEEPROM( UINT16 EEPROMAddress, UINT16 Data );
DWORD FETSetOptions(DWORD dwOptions);
void FETCurrentPacketFilter(DWORD dwFilter);
BOOL FETMulticastList(PUCHAR pucMulticastAddresses, DWORD dwNoOfAddresses);
Also add the following lines into the SUPPORTED_COMMON_NIC #define section:
{0x1106, 0x3065, 0xABCDEF, EDBG_ADAPTER_FET, "VT" }, /* VIA */\
{0x1106, 0x3106, 0xABCDEF, EDBG_ADAPTER_FET, "VT" }, /* VIA */\
{0x1106, 0x3053, 0xABCDEF, EDBG_ADAPTER_FET, "VT" }, /* VIA */\
A sample halether.h file is included for your reference.
5. Modify MAKEFILE file
Locate the MAKEFILE file in directory \WINCE420\public\common\CESYSGEN
and add "fetdbg" for the tools and httpftp segments.
A sample "MAKEFILE" file is included for your reference.
7. Build CEPC platform
Choose "Build Platform" from the "Build" menu to make a new OS image.
8. Basic testing
An EBOOT.BIN is included in this package. Copy this file to your boot disk.
A FET DOS setup Setup.exe utility is also included in this package. Run this
setup utility on your target platform to check the IRQ and IOPORT assignments of
FET.
Usage,
loadcepc /e:<IOPORT in HEX>:<IRQ in hex>:[<dotted IP address, optional>] eboot.bin
Where <IOPORT> and <IRQ> could be found by FET Setup.exe
Typical examples,
In case of static IP assignment,
loadcepc /e:E000:B:192.168.1.123 eboot.bin
In case of IP assignment through DHCP,
loadcepc /e:E000:B eboot.bin
Note: The parameter definition of loadcepc.exe of Windows CE.Net is different from
which of Windows CE 3.0. So, don't use loadcepc.exe of Windows CE 3.0.
Loadcepc.exe of Windows CE.Net is included in this package.
9. IDE platform builder ethernet download/debug settings
In order to configure a connection for downloading and debugging, choose
"Configure Remote Connection" from the "Target" pull down menu. Choose the "Services" tab.
In the "Named connection service" group, select "Ethernet" from both the "Download"
list box and the "Kernel Transport" list box.
Click on the "Configure" button, which is to the right of the "Download" list box.
Then run "loadcepc" on the your target platform as described in the previous step.
A CEPC device name will show up in the "Available Devices" box. Click on it, and then
click OK to end the dialog box.
Select "Download/Initialize" from the "Target" pull down menu to start download service.
10. FET NDIS LAN driver/EDBG conflict problem
If a FET is used as a download/debug card, then FET Fast Ethernet LAN Driver driver
must not be installed on this download/debug card. Improper installation could cause
Windows CE system hanging.
By default, a VMini Ethernet sharing library is supported by CE.Net. It's a miniport driver
that interfaces with VBridge to handle traffic not related to Ethernet debugging. Besides
EDBG, a FET download/debug card also functions as a product Ethernet card.
Note:If the environment variable BSP_NOSHAREETH is set, VMini will be disabled.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
