PMAC UMAC 465 process; updating FW from 2.5.0.4 to 2.5.2.0, eth ports not starting at boot after upgrade

[kmonroe023]

Hello,

I recently attempted to upgrade the FW on a 465 PMAC processor and discovered that the ethernet ports will no longer start at boot after the update.

I can connect via the serial port and start the ethernet ports using ifup, so I think the network config in interfaces is ok.  Once I start the eth ports I can connect using the IDE.  Once connected, the FW update appeared successful and I was able to download and run my project.

If I reboot or power down the processor, I have to connect serially to get the eth port running again.

Running IDE V 4.5.2.9

Interfaces file attached.

I've tried to flash it back to 2.5.0.4 and 2.4.0.180 to see if the network issue would fix itself; it didn't.

Eth ports started at boot with both versions of FW before the 2.5.20 update.

Any idea how to fix this?  I assume some startup script isn't working correctly, but I'm not familiar with Linux so I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks,

kmonroe

The 465EX PPC CPU is now obsolete. It was not fully tested on these newer FW versions. Contact the support group (ODT-Support@Omron.com) with your CPU SN. They can send you an image file to get back to 2.5.0.4. This was the last “fully” tested FW for 465.

I figured it was something like that.  I'll email support.

Thanks,
