Utilizing micro2440 on custom board and DM9000 Ethernet

Forum: Hardware

I'm currently working on integrating the Micro2440 stamp module onto a
custom PCB board.  One issue I'm running into is the lack of availability
of the DM9000 Ethernet IC.  Does anyone know where we can purchase smaller
quantities of this part or a suitable replacement with Linux driver
support?

Best regards,

Take a look into the linux kernel: make menuconfig
 Device Drivers --->
   Network device support --->
     Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
Most of these devices you can use as a replacement.

Thanks for the tip.  I notice that a lot of Ethernet chips are PCI bus
based.  I'm guessing the S3C2440 doesn't have PCI support directly.

I think we may settle on the SMSC LAN9220, since it appears to be readily
available, affordable, has a small chip footprint, uses a 16 bit bus (like
the DM9000) and has Linux support.

Do not forget the bootloader. You also need to adapt it, if you want to use
the network at this early boot stage.
