Very true.

The approach taken with ProAction is to send Arexx commands from
Python to an Arexx Host which renders the ReAction GUI. A fine idea
which works great for Arexx scripts and also allows Python a path to
using a GUI as well.

However, when writing in Python, you can simplify the code the ...

@NinjaCyborg

I did receive your email and will attempt to answer your
questions in my response.

Skateman brought this post to my attention.

I do have an interest in expanding the use the Python on AmigaOS4.x,
primarily as it is one of the main programming languages that the
Advanced Visual Developer (AVD) will export your application designs
to.

I intend to first port Python 2.5 to the final ...

My tests on the X5000/20 with 4.15.0-rc8 (w/CONFIG_FSL_PAMU disabled) shows
the same kind of progress seen by Skateman's testing. My results vary somewhat, but
I believe there are other factors at play which account for the slightly different results
(I suspect mostly timing issues).

For example ...

Hi Jamie,

Could you please post your results on the linuxppc-dev mailing list? Link: https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

Thanks,

I have joined the linuxppc-dev mailing list, and I just sent off a (slightly reformatted) version of the results I posted here.

@Christian, I ...

Hi Skateman,


Hi Jamie,
What i did find odd is the following:

In Uboot i set the Ipadress and all is working fine. I can ping my gateway.


This is because U-Boot is using a special "Independent Mode" for it's
Ethernet driver. It loads a block of microcode to configure the
Frame Manager (FMan ...

So far I have tested the following (All tests done on X5000/20):
linux-4.9.70
linux-4.10.17
linux-4.15-rc5
linux-4.15-rc6
linux-4.15-rc7

All with the DPAA Ethernet enabled in the kernel,
and using the correct cyrus_p5020.eth.dtb device
tree file (also known as cyrus.eth.dtb in the latest
public ...

Mabey it just needs to be included in the ENV like shown below...
I found this example in an NXP community.

e.g. :
=> setenv eth1addr xx:xx:xx:xx
=> saveenv
Change the number in eth1 according to the
interface number you are trying to set the mac
for.

The U-Boot environment variables (ethaddr ...

Partially correct, there is an serial eeprom on the board with the MAC addresses in(IIRC), this is separate to the uboot SD card, but it seems wasn't programmed with MAC addresses on end user boards. This is where U-Boot gets its MAC addresses from if you haven't programmed the U-Boot variables ...

I got some time do dig more into this, so I tried building kernel version 4.4.0 and 4.5.0, and booting them with the device tree present in the upstreams kernel sources for the respective version.

None of them gave me working gigabit ethernet; although the dmesg for 4.5.0 looked rather promising ...
