mpc8360sar

mpc8360sar

[Alex Zeffertt]

Hi lists,

I'm writing to announce a new project http://mpc8360sar.sourceforge.net .
This is an ATM driver for the QUICC Engine (QE) of the PowerQUICC II Pro
range of processors.  It is based on Tony Li's fsl-atm driver and my
mpc8260sar driver.  I've basically used Tony's driver for the most low level
stuff and ported a lot of extra functionality from my PQII driver.

You will need the Linux BSP from Freescale to build this driver.

I have only tested this driver on mpc832xe-mds, but it should also work on
the mpc8360e-pb board.

If you use mpc8360sar, please let me know how you get on.  In particular
let me know if you work out how to stop the QE occaisionally corrupting the
TCT when using external channels.

Regards,

Alex

Hi, alex
I am tony li.  I am glad to know that you add many features support.
Do you have test the UBR and AAL0 ? I am lack of enviroment test them
now.
I have not read your code detailly.:)
And which ltib release version is your base ? I have updated my code a
little which contain a workaround for a bug.

Hi,

Yes, UBR and AAL0 work.  I've also added support for the qos parameters
min_pcr, pcr, and max_pcr.

I used ltib-mpc832xemds-20060615 as my base.  More details are on the
website.

BTW, I left all your code in.  There's a simple config option now which
allows you to choose between the two drivers.

Alex

PS Thanks!

Any reason we dont try to get your work up stream into the mainline  
kernel?

I'd like to see it upstreamed - the more people who use it the more help I get!

However, mpc8360sar is built on Freescale's BSP which adds basic support for the
board, the MPC832xE-MDS, to the stock linux kernel.  This support consists of the
following patches:

Patch0          : patch-2.6.11.bz2
Patch1          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-general-20060414.patch
Patch2          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-pci-3.patch
Patch3          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-pci-agent.patch
Patch4          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-watchdog.patch
Patch5          : linux-2.6.11-mpc83xx-sec2.patch
Patch6          : mpc832x-sec2v15-config-1.patch
Patch7          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-usb-gadget.patch
Patch8          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-usb-host.patch
Patch9          : linux-2.6.11-mpc8360-general-1.patch
Patch10         : linux-2.6.11-mpc8360-pci-agent.patch
Patch11         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-basic-4.patch
Patch12         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-pci-agent.patch
Patch13         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-spi-1.patch
Patch14         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-BIT.patch
Patch15         : linux-2.6.11-mpc83xx-ct-1.patch
Patch16         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-usb-gadget.patch
Patch17         : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-atm-1.patch

I guess there's no point upstreaming mpc8360sar until freescale have
upstreamed these patches (and ported them to the current kernel).

Alex

PS It's probable that mpc8360sar actually only requires a handful of
the above patches to be applied.

True, a large number of these patches are upstream, and if I had  
access to MPC836x or MPC832x HW I'd work on getting the others that  
are reasonable.

Tony, can you let me know when CONFIG_MPC832XE_MDS support is upstreamed
to a kernel.org kernel.  I'll then try to get the mpc8360sar working with this
kernel and then upstream it.

Alex

PS I'm not entirely sure how "upstreaming" is done.

RE: [Linux-ATM-General] mpc8360sar

[Li Tony-r64360]

 Alex, we are working on the 8360 upstream. As the similarity between
832x and 8360, if the 8360 has benn accepted, it would be easy for 832x
upstream.
We have submit the 8360 patch to the opensource. But we are waiting it
to be accepted.

BTW,  the new version QOC3-ATM card will adopt. The QOC3-ATM card code
need some modification.=20
I send the new code to you if it done. Ok ?
Tony
