Yes I've set the correct adress and it's why I don't have fffff like on the
phytec.
But in fact I had to change the fec_get_hwadrr() to make it work with my
board :

static int fec_get_hwaddr(struct eth_device *dev, unsigned char *mac)

{

 int i;

 int uninitialized = 0;


>  for (i=0;i<6;i++) {

 mac[6-1-i] = readl(&IIM_BANK_REG(0,(IIM0_MAC+i)));

 }


>  /* uninitialized if all 00 */

 if ((mac[0] == 0) && (mac[1] == 0) && (mac[2] == 0) &&

            (mac[3] == 0) && (mac[4] == 0) && (mac[5] == 0))

                uninitialized = 1;


>  /* uninitialized if all FF (could be safe) */

        if ((mac[0] == 0xff) && (mac[1] == 0xff) && (mac[2] == 0xff) &&

    (mac[3] == 0xff) && (mac[4] == 0xff) && (mac[5] == 0xff))

        uninitialized = 1;


>  return uninitialized;

}


Before this change it wasn't the case, I had no mac adress in barebox
start...
I also added a specific reset :

void fec_reset()
{
        int i=0;
    /*  FEC RESET */
    imx_gpio_mode(CFG_ETHPHY_RST | GPIO_OUT | GPIO_PUEN | GPIO_GPIO);
    printf("Before PHY reset\n");
    GPIO_CLEAR(CFG_ETHPHY_RST);
    udelay(200);
    GPIO_SET(CFG_ETHPHY_RST);
    printf("After PHY reset\n");

}

And then I call it in the fec_probe() to ensure the fec is reset properly
before settings.
I already tested the fec on u-boot and it works fine, so i tought it can
help me with barebox but it seems there are some differences between codes.

For now Im trying to see if it can be a cpu frequence problem because I have
an errata on the pll that shifts all my frequencies and so I have to adjust
them in the lowlevelinit...

So I would like to know if the clock initialization is taking effect if I
boot from RAM ? Do I have t boot from flash ?

Thanks again.

Here is what
