Re: PCMCIA-IDE for mpc8xx-linux-2.2.13

Hi,

I'm trying to connect an IDE disk to the mpc860, on a TQM-860L Module
running linux-2.2.13.
According to Dan Malek it should be possible to use the PCMCIA port as a
simple IDE interface (as stated also in m8xx_setup.c).
When I try to compile the kernel with IDE/ATA-2 disk support, I get
'm8xx_setup.c: In function `m8xx_ide_init_hwif_ports':'
'm8xx_setup.c:418: `PCMCIA_MEM_ADDR' undeclared (first use in this
function)'.
So I guess I need some patches for port access and irq mapping,
mentioned by Dan.
Is it possible to make these patches available on the net?

Hang on.....When I get back to the office from travelling this
week I will create a patch and post it this weekend.  There are
still a couple of minor changes needed.

This kernel already has a hack in the m8xx_setup.c function to
use a PCMCIA ATA device.  All you need to do is enable basic IDE
and select the  IDE disk driver.  Don't get carried away and enable
too much stuff.

You have to initialize the PCMCIA (especially the power stuff)
according to your board.  There are two patches missing from
the asm-ppc/ide.h file for interrupt routing when using the
PCMCIA.  I will send those to you personally.
