Setting Ethernet Link State on SBL2e

Post by gdolson »

We have built an ethernet to serial module around the SBL2e chip and it works great! Recently we have been getting reports of failure to link to new Gigabit switches (Extreme and Juniper switches to be exact). The SBL2e defaults to Half Duplex if Autonegotiation fails and then seems to be stuck there without a power reset. The Factory SBL2e firmware only has options for Normal, 100BT Half Duplex and 10BT Half Duplex. I assume it can be set to 100BT Full Duplex if desired. Can you point me in the right direction for doing this. The Runtime Library manual doesn't seem to match what I am actually seeing in the project files. We started from the Dualserial example and pared down the HTML page. Is there an example project with a more robust ethernet functionality.

Thanks,
Greg

The call you want is

Force100BT();
