The uartlite code much more closely follows the 8250 code. The early serial portions probably would work asis with PK's driver. Though I can't confirm that as PK's driver does not work on my hardware. A newer version of the same big patch is at http://www.picocomputing.com/software/files/Installers/coLinux/Pico-2.6.patch.bz2 When I have more time and am more proficient with git I will likely break it up into individual pieces. -- Dave Lynch DLA Systems Software Development: Embedded Linux 717.627.3770 dhlii@dlasys.net http://www.dlasys.net fax: 1.253.369.9244 Cell: 1.717.587.7774 Over 25 years' experience in platforms, languages, and technologies too numerous to list.
