TX pointer array was using RX ring length in its declaration.
Wasted memory if RX ring > TX ring, as is the default, but would
be broken if RX ring < TX ring.
16 RX buffers and 8 TX buffers is probably excessive. Nanostack
version of driver successfully used 4+4, and data pump should be
broadly equivalent.
This means that switching K64F devices from Nanostack to EMAC increases
base heap usage by 18K - observed in Nanostack border router builds.
Add a config option to make it possible to lower the number of buffers.
Defer consideration of lowering the default to later.
Subtract 4 from the received packet length - the buffer contains the
CRC, which we shouldn't pass up.
Ensure we allocate receive buffers of a size corresponding to the
rounded-up size we tell the hardware - the hardware was overrunning the
allocation by a couple of bytes.
Implementation of unified EMAC driver for Renesas mbed boards
Based on the driver so far, Renesas implemented the emac driver for GR-PEACH and VK-RZ/A1H.
The mainly changes is below.
- Add the connection part with LWIP according to the unified emac specification.
- Add three new multicast functions(add, remove, set_all).
The Greentea test netsocket and emac test passed.
Just checking "does the chip have an EMAC" doesn't work - there are
targets using those chips which do not have an Ethernet connector and
don't provide the necessary surrounding infrastructure (eg DISCO_F429ZI,
not providing the board emac config call, and HEXIWEAR not providing PHY
info).
Make the targets that actually do want EMAC define their own local
Freescale_EMAC and STM_EMAC labels, and move the drivers into
the corresponding TARGET_ directories, removing the #ifdefs.
Checking DEVICE_EMAC is problematic - particularly for the Odin W2 where
apps have been shutting this off to disable the Wi-fi interface.
Make drivers check a locally-relevant flag instead, pending new
thoughts on how to achieve application/test-relevant flagging for
XXX:get_default_instance() being provided by a system.
However that is achieved, drivers do require a flag set purely by the
target - they mustn't be tripped up by an add-on module providing itself
as the system's default EMAC.
