Subject: Enabling PCMCIA serial ports without pcmciautils/pcmcia_cs in 2.6?
Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2005 11:03:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42F8715C.4000404@bakke.com> (raw)
I am building a small root fs for an embedded target.
(Soekris 4521, which is an SC520 + yenta-compatible cardbus bridge)
Basing my system on kernel, uclibc and busybox, I can build a very lean,
clean and compact root fs with a minimum of effort. (gentoo-embedded rocks!)
But getting my 4port serial pcmcia card enabled appears to require
various stuff to be installed, just to get the card initialised:
pcmcia_cs (or alternatively pcmciautils for 2.6.13), hotplug, pciutils,
usbutils, libusb, sysfsutils(?).
Is this really necessary? I'd guess that serial cards are some of the
simpler pcmcia targets to enable? (I could be very wrong..)
Anyone got an idea about alternative solutions, or can state the minimum
binaries/files I need to enable this card? (Advantech COMpad-32/85B-4)
