[U-Boot-Users] u-boot PCMCIA Support w/ PXA-255??

[Craig A. Vanderborgh]

Hello All:

I have managed to get u-boot running on my PXA255/SA1111-based board.  
Our board seems to be pretty close to the Intel "Lubbock" reference 
design, so I was able to get a slightly modified Lubbock u-boot 
configuration to work on this board.

Now, what I REALLY need is to get PCMCIA working w/u-boot and this 
board.  Specifically, I need to be able to use dhcp/tftp from u-boot to 
download images to configure the board in the field.  Initially, I need 
ne2000 support, but later on I'll have to have 802.11b card support.

It appears that I need some sample source that illustrates how to bring 
up PCMCIA on the PXA255/SA1111.  I have not been able to find a good 
example of this so far, and I am hoping (praying??) that someone out in 
u-boot-land or DENX-land has already done some work to get
PCMCIA working in u-boot.  I have the Linux PCMCIA sources (for 
PXA/SA1111) and I *might* be able to adapt them, but they aren't working 
yet and it seems like working on the simpler case (u-boot standalone 
PCMCIA) might be a better place to get a foothold.

ANY ideas you may have or pointers to other documentation would be 
appreciated.  I am struggling because PCMCIA support seems to be pretty 
thin in the various bootloaders - u-boot included.

Thanks in advance,
craig vanderborgh

Hi,

I submitted a patch for NE2000 support on PXA/PCMCIA, really don't know
why it didn't go into the trunk. Anyway take a look:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9617953

I've tested it with a couple of different NE2000 cards (Belkin, Pretec),
I would like to hear any more feedbacks. Please note that 802.11b are
much worse beasts and they come with licensing problems too since
usually you have to download some firmware and such.

Bye,

Christian:

I would love to try this out.  Please send me the tarball you mentioned, 
or provide a
pointer to where I can find the sources.  I don't see them in CVS.

THANK YOU!!
