And to butt back into the previous/related topic on HOST/ADD-IN
mode, I tend to agree with Phil here. The add-in mode should be
given more access to the PCI bus. We were able to do it with
only a few patches made to the add-in mode configuration
(basically copying a few memory-mappings and defines from the
host mode). As long as the programmer is smart enough to only
have a driver installed on either the host or the EBSA there
shouldn't be a problem.
This might be usefull for expirimentation but I really don't want to
have PCI stuff in my add-in EBSA285. The reason is very simple, I don't
need it and IMHO PCI cards shouldn't deal with the PCI configuration
space. Making PCI an option when building an add in kernel seems like a
good idea if people want this kind of access.
greetings,
Mark.
