Hi everyone,

I am interesting about how to port m8xx_pcmcia driver to linux kernel w/ MPC850.

Would you mind to share your successful experience with me?

I did (w/ the help of others). It is on its way upstream now. If you
need it soon, let me know and I can make it available.

Conn,

hmm......
sounds good.

but, I am a newbie about programming with linux kernel and MPC850.
Could you tell me which kernel release and how to port it smoothly?

We have done it. There shouldn't be much to do provided you have the
PCMCIA interface connected correctly.

There was a mistake in the Motorola manual on the MPC850. It involved
two lines having to be swapped.

	We are using kernel 2.2.13 and pcmcia card services 3.1.10 .
Unfortunately our hardware is proprietary and doesn't have a full pcmcia
interface. I had to comment out all the voltage detect and such. Other
than that I just followed the instructions that came with the mpc8xx
patch file. The patch used to be availible from montavista's ftp site
but
isn't any more.

here is some help full notes.

Conn,

while I enter the ftp site of MontaVista, I couldn't see anything on the site.
If it is the patch file that Magnus loaded in the webpage?

RE: Does anyone port m8xx_pcmcia driver to Linux Kernel successfully?

[Jacky Wang]

Conn,

I found while use Linux 2.2.13 + pcmcia-cs 2.1.10 + patch file (w/o any modification), I couldn't re-compile pcmcia-cs successfully.
They are what I work with:
Debian OS w/ 2.2.18pre21 kernel
powerpc-linux-gcc 2.95.2
powerpc-linux-as 2.9.5

Would you give me your advise? Or.. it's a problem about configurations of Makefile?

Hi folks,

The patch file you are referring to, is that the same patch as I
released
in the mail below?

http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-embedded/200002/msg00093.html

If that is the case I think you should try pcmcia-cs-3.1.10 instead of
2.1.10.
Or was that a typo?

That sounds interesting, can you please tell me which lines? Cause I'm
right on the way to
do such a interface...

And a little bit OT, but how do you implement the BCSR's? I looked for
the (ABEL)-Source which is provided with the Manual
(MPC8xxFADSMENGUM.pdf) but i found no good tool to extract the needed
pins...

Any help would be very pleasant,

Hi Sven,

	We were told that the RESET_B and the POE_B needed to be
swapped. Somewhere motorola has an app note on it.

Looking at the MPC850UM.PDF that I downloaded today they have corrected
the error. Our printed manual has the mistake.

RESET_B is connected to OP3
POE_B is connected to OP2


I can't find the register you are reffering to (BCSR). Could you spell
it
out?


Hope this helps.

Hi Magnus,

Yes.
That's what I am using(pcmcia-cs 3.1.10 + gz00000.gz//is the patch file from webpage).

sorry for my mis-typing.
