QNX with SiS 603e Chipset

[Jan Rüdiger]

Hi

We have an embede Board with an SiS603 Chipset here. We two Problems
with Chipset together with QNX:

a) The GUI only runs in SVGA @60Hz ... minor problem since we actually
don't use the GUI

b) The Networkcard is only detected with a MAC of 00:00:00:00:00:00:00
which is a bigger problem, because our new Switch rejects this MAC
address. Also the NC is only detected with Half-Duplux 10MBit

<snip>
en1: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
media: Ethernet 10baseT half-duplex
status: active
</snip>

The Hardware runs fine under Linux (Knoppix). Is there anyone who can
help us?

thanks allot

Hi

Sorry it is a SiS630ET Chipset.

There is an updated driver for this chipset, but in the mean time you can
specify the 'mac=xxxxxxxxxxxx' on the command line to the driver.

In the next release of the OS there will be a graphics
driver for the SiS630. However, we do not have an SiS630ET
system here so I cannot guarantee the driver will be compatible.

Thanks for your answer, but how do i add command lines to the driver. I
looked into /etc/system/enum/devices
but couldn't finde the part where the nic is configured. Also there is
noc resMgr running for my nics

thanks

You can either do this on the command line, or in your rc.local file.

slay io-net
io-net -dsis9 mac=xxxxxxxxxxxx -ptcpip
ifconfig en0 xx.xx.xx.xx
or
dhcp.client
