Hi Gabriel,
Regarding the 'system halted' issue, you can check if the 'ShowHardware' flag is enabled. The host cannot communicate with the target after boot when the 'ShowHardware' flag is turned on.
This is mentioned briefly on the following page:
It is important to turn off the 'ShowHardware' environment variable (which you may have enabled to see the Ethernet indices) to get a fully functional target boot.
To do so, execute the following command on the MATLAB Command Prompt:
setxpcenv('ShowHardware','off');
After doing this, rebuild the boot disk and network boot the target.
With regards to your question about ethernet card compatibility, here is some information:
The chipsets supported for model-based Ethernet communication are not necessarily the same as the chipsets supported for host-to-target Ethernet communication. In particular, fewer members of the Intel 8255X and Intel Gigabit chip families are supported for model-based Ethernet communication than are for host-to-target Ethernet communication.
The following is a list of the Intel Gigabit chipsets (along with device ID) supported for use with model-based Ethernet communication:
82541PI Intel® PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter 0x107C
82572Gl Intel® PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter 0x107D
82574L Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter 0x10D3
The following is a non-comprehensive list of the Intel Gigabit chipsets supported for use with model-based Ethernet communication:
82540EP/EM - (0x100E, 0x1015, 0x1016, 0x1017)
82544GC/EI - (0x1008, 0x1009, 0x100C, 0x100D)
82545GM/EM - (0x100F, 0x1011, 0x1026, 0x1027, 0x1028)
82546GB/EB - (0x1010, 0x1012, 0x1079, 0x107A, 0x107B, 0x108A, 0x1099)
82547xx - (0x1019, 0x1075)
82541xx - (0x1013, 0x1018, 0x101A, 0x1076, 0x1077, 0x1078, 0x107C)
82546GB/EB - (0x101D)
82540EP/EM - (0x101E)
82572Gl - (0x107D)
82573E/82573V/82573L - (0x108B, 0x109A)
82574L - (0x10D3)
631xESB/632xESB
82571EB/82572EI
82563EB/82564EB
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks,
