I am working on an embedded system which is based on TI OMAP processor. The board which one of my friends designed, has an Ethernet connector.
I am using ping to check if it is working.
It is working for some minutes and then stops and doesn't start till I unplug and re-plug the cable.
The board has Linux on it, so when It stops working, I tried to reset the interface by uissuesing:
ifconfug eth0 down
inconfig eth0 up
but it has no effect.
I am not sure if it is a hardware problem, or a software one. How can I check that the hardware works properly?
How can I simulate cable disconnect and reconnect in software?
