The Netra t1 boardset is very similar (if not identical) to the
CompactPCI CP1500 boardset, which contains two userflash devices
with 4MB each. I am currently looking into support for the userflash devices
on the CP1500, so I assume this would work for Netra as well.
In the interim, you might be able to hack the jsflash driver for
userflash, but I am investigating support via the MTD subsystem.
Aside from the current work on userflash, the CP1500 is fully supported.
Unfortunately, SMCC seems to have a 'flavor of the week' approach to
OBP device node naming, unlike SME, so I'd bet much of Netra t1 can
be supported with a little hand-waving in the current drivers.
Once you get the box, please send me (offline) the output from
'prtconf -pv' under Linux to satisfy my curiosities.
