Provision EEPROM for Network Settings

[ztnel]

Description

This task involves determining the total number of bytes we need to store in EEPROM to be able to configure the device networking settings on boot to allow device connectivity. Some of the obvious parameters should be as follows:

1. Device MAC Address
2. Subnet Mask
3. Gateway

Note: The IP address should be negotiated over DCHP.

Update EEPROM address map document to include space for network configuration.

System Operation

The networking subsystem should configure the ethernet phy with the network settings stored in EEPROM on boot.

Tasks

• Update EEPROM address map to include space for device network settings
• Add control flow for network configuration on device boot.
