         RELEASE NOTE : MICREL KS8695/KS8695X/KS8695P VxWorks BSP 

RELEASE 1.0/9   07/26/2004
	1. Changed revision number to 9.
	2. Changed KS8695 END driver revision number to 1.0.5.
    3. Integrate KS8695/KS8695X/KS8695P to the same source tree base. 
       Different features are on following ('x' as support):

                   WAN  LAN  HPNA  PCI  SDRAM  WAN_PHY(0xEA14)
         KS8695    x    x    x          16MB   0xB000
         KS8695X   x    x               16MB   0xB000
         KS8695P   x    x          x    32MB   0x0 (default)

    4. Bug fix. when run SmartBit to do throughput test, ks8695p SOHO terminal display 
       "Interrupt:ResetDma, not running".
    5. Since KS8695P has problem generated IP/TCP/UDP checksum, diable HW Tx/Rx IP/TCP/UDP checksum.
    6. For easy to program flash, don't enable read/write FIFO in the ks8695 Memory Controller. 
    7. INCLUDE_DOSFS for DOS file system backward-compatibility to create flash device to dosFS.
       INCLUDE_RAWFS for to create flash device to rawFs.
    8. Create a custom make rule to build vxWorks compressed file - vxWorks.Z. 
       It is included in the project file (ks8695p.wpj).
    9. Download the boot ROM - bootrom_uncmp.bin from network TFTP, and saved to flash 

       (1).from Boot Loader, change the boot parameters as following:  

	            boot device          : ks
	            unit number          : 0 
	            processor number     : 0 
	            host name            : mars
	            file name            : bootrom_uncmp.bin
	            inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.1:ffffff00
	            host inet (h)        : 192.168.1.10 
	            user (u)             : ks8695
	            ftp password (pw)    : wind
	            flags (f)            : 0x80
	            target name (tn)     : ks8695soho
                other (o)            : 

           After corrected boot parameters, type upcase 'F' at the boot prompt, as follows:

           [VxWorks Boot]: F 

           and press 'y' or 'Y' key on the keyboard from Hyper Terminal within that seven-second 
           period to download the bootrom_uncmp.bin into the target FLASH.
           After "done", the bootrom image is in the flash of target.

       (2).from Shell Command, type download as following:  
                
                loadBoot "192.168,1,10", "bootrom_uncmp.bin"

   10. Download the VxWorks compress image - vxWorks.Z from network TFTP, and saved to flash 

       (1).from Boot Loader, change the boot parameters as following:  

	            boot device          : ks
	            unit number          : 0 
	            processor number     : 0 
	            host name            : mars
	            file name            : vxWorks.Z
	            inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.1:ffffff00
	            host inet (h)        : 192.168.1.10 
	            user (u)             : ks8695
	            ftp password (pw)    : wind
	            flags (f)            : 0x80
	            target name (tn)     : ks8695soho
                other (o)            : 

           After corrected boot parameters, type upcase 'F' at the boot prompt, as follows:

           [VxWorks Boot]: G 

           and press 'y' or 'Y' key on the keyboard from Hyper Terminal within that seven-second 
           period to download the vxWorks.Z into the target FLASH.
           After "done", the vxWorks application is in the flash of target.

       (2).from Shell Command, type download as following:  
                
                loadApp "192.168,1,10", "vxWorks.Z"

   11. System booted vxWorks.Z from flash.
           At Boot Loader, change the boot parameters as following:  

	            boot device          : rfa
	            unit number          : 0 
	            processor number     : 0 
	            host name            : mars
	            file name            : flash:/vxWorks.Z
	            inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.1.1:ffffff00
	            host inet (h)        : 192.168.1.10 
	            user (u)             : ks8695
	            ftp password (pw)    : wind
	            flags (f)            : 0x2000
	            target name (tn)     : ks8695soho
                other (o)            : ks

           After corrected boot parameters, type @ at the boot prompt, as follows:

           [VxWorks Boot]: @

           this will execute new version of vxWorks application image from flash.

   12. Added support Intel 82559 NIC from ks8695P PCI bus 
       under Shell command, type setPCIfeiIf() to set fei (Intel 82557 NIC) Network interface.
       eg. setPCIfeiIf ("192.168.3.1", 0xffffff00) 
       note: 
            (1).ks8695P PCI host bridge only support memory mapping, no I/O mapping).
            (2).In order for IP stack to process PCI NCI (fei) networking packets, 
                need to enabled software IP/UDP checksum generation/checking (since fei NIC don't
                support IP/UDP checksum generation/checking).


RELEASE 1.0/8   01/12/2004
	1. Changed cache size to 8KB for ARM922T (replace libarch.a to "target\lib\arm\ARMARCH4\common").
	2. Changed revision number to 8.

RELEASE 1.0/7   12/12/2003
	1. Fixed telnet problem.
	2. Timestamp is not supported.
	3. Changed revision number to 7.

RELEASE 1.0/6   12/01/2003
	1. Changed release revision to 6. It reaches to 87 Mbps in SmartBit throughput test
	2. In ks8695EndSend(), if no available TxBufs, call ks8695TxProcess() to clean up processed
	   tx descriptors instead of call ks8695HandleTxIntTask(). Deleted ks8695HandleTxIntTask()
	   routine.
	3. In ks8695TxProcess(), after clean up processed tx descriptors, if there is block 
	   trasnmission,  notify upper protocols Tx descriptors are available.
	4. Changed WAN/LAN mac address to Kendin prefix 00:10:A1
	5. Added DEBUG compiler for ksShowStats and ksClearStats to fix compiler error if DEBUG not defined

RELEASE 1.0/5   12/01/2003
	1. Performance tuning, mainly in a) disabled debug (release version),
           b) disabled software checksum generation/checking and c) tuning in
           END driver. With these factors, it reached to 69Mbps in SmartBit
           throughput test.
	2. Changed BSP revision number to 1.0/5 accordingly.

RELEASE 1.0/4   11/21/2003
	1. Optimized code (interrupt, timer and UART handler).
	2. Changed BSP revision number to 1.0/4 accordingly.
	3. Fixed a bug in END driver which would didn't issue Rx start in the case
		of no Rx buffer.
	4. Modified Makefile to make release version.

RELEASE 1.0/3   11/6/2003
	1. Added IP formarding support between WAN and LAN ports for the BSP.
	2. Fixed no boot line data problem when booting the bootrom image in the first time.
	3. Fixed END driver cache coherent problem in transmit direction with user space tx buffer.
	4. Changed END driver version to 1.0.3, and BSP revision number to 1.0/3 accordingly.
	5. Changed this log history order from oldest first to newest first.
	6. Changed Tx descriptors to 16, Rx descriptors to 24.
	7. Added Dhcp client and server functions, but not functional yet.
	8. Added new functions for WAN interface IP formarding in case boot IF
	   is LAN.

RELEASE 1.0/2   10/23/2003
	1. Removed END driver debug information.
	2. Fixed the D-Cache configuration bug in the sysPhyMemDesc of sysLib.c

RELEASE 1.0/1   10/20/2003
	1. Fixed WAN END driver bug.
	2. Enabled Cache support.
	3. Added LAN END driver support.

	2. Cache and MMU are disabled as the default setting.
	3. WAN port Ethernet driver is not stable during TFTP downloading.
	4. Flash memory AM29LV033C is supported to store the boot parameters.
