DM9601 Driver for u-boot on beagleboard

I'm trying to do a nfs boot from my Beagleboard. My Davicom Dm9601, was not detected from u-boot, hence its failing with the error "0 ethernet devices found" and "Remote device not responded"

I have started writing the device-driver for the same.

  1. dm9601_eth_before_probe
  2. dm9601_eth_probe

With the above two functions its showing "1 Ethernet device found"

  1. dm9601_init

When i'm trying to write above function, first action is to get the mac-address. I am taking asix.c given below as a reference. I've written read_cmd and write_cmd functions. But my current problem is i'm trying to using "Physical Address Register" register for reading the mac-address. I'm bit confused in the way the linux-drivers are working and asix.c is working.

Can anyone help me in understanding the same and how to go ahead in my implementation of the similar logic in dm9601 for u-boot.

You should also get the Asix datasheet to better understand its device driver, and for comparison with the Davicom to properly determine what is really different and what is similar. – sawdust
I have got that datasheet as well. They are trying to read using commands. But i'm not understanding how to do this with dm9601 – gio_Beginer

First, make sure you have the MUSB host enable in config

Some times You need a little more time out setting of USB reset
