EP405 GPIO signal problem

[Toni Van Remortel <t.vanremortel@ha.be>]

Hi,

I have an RTAI powered kernel module which outputs 32 bits data via the
EP405 GPIO ports from the IBM 405GP CPU. These outputs are multiplexed
with other signals.
Problem: when I output the 32 bits as one like this:
writel( buffer, (u32)gpio_base_addr+GPIO0_OR );
(where buffer is of u32 type)
I get some glitches after my DAC. The DAC has a 70ns settling time, but
the glitches are 120µs. So I presume it's a CPU problem.

Is this a normal thing? I don't think so. It is strange behavior, that's
all I know. How can I prevent those 'peaks' in my output? Peaks are
generated by 0xFFFFFFFF output (that's what I can make out of the
scope-signal).
