Hello all,
Do anybody know how to read the data from serial eeprom ?
I want to read the MAC address and other details from on board EEPROM from
intelpro100 ethernet card(82559).
Any source code will help me a lot…
Waiting for your reply…
Thanks
Umesh

Take a look at sys/nic.h and sys/dcmd_io-net.h for the type Nic_t, you
will find a help devctl named DCMD_IO_NET_NICINFO. Open a fd to the
device in question and send the devctl.
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/lib_ref/d/devctl.html
for a devctl example.

Reading info straight out an Intel NIC EEPROM is a bit of a pain in the ass,
but with a bit of help from the OpenBSD kernel, it is much easier…
the function you would be most interested in is fxp_read_eeprom() in the
fxp.c file found here: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/ic/
it took me a few reads of the function and it’s surrounding code to figure
out what is going on, the Linux source may be a bit nicer, but i never
looked (gotta be careful with GPL’ed code in proprietary projects).
Unfortuneatly you won’t get much help from Intel, they are crazy secretive
about giving out manuals to their NICs.
