I would say i'm half-way done but I'm really stuck. And two days ago, something really weird happened, so if anybody has an idea, please help:
I'm using kernel-2.6.6 (today i'll compile 2.6.8). By studying the sample code that came along with the evaluation board of the isp1160, i discovered that the two ports that I needed to communicate with the chip (the command and the data port) were located at PCI_RESOURCE #2 and PCI_RES #2 + 2. So I used them and everything worked fine. At least everything used to work fine, because one day I removed a PCI card from my computer (a scsi controller) that was sharing an IRQ (11) with the evaluation board. Obviously, the pci resources changed but that shouldn't be a problem, since I don't allocate my ports explicitly, but rather by calling pci_request_region(pdev, 2, "name_of_hcd"). So my driver doesn't work at all for the moment, because it cannot do any I/O!!! The worst of all is that the sample code of the board (written for ...DOS!) still works and is able to communicate, by also using pci_resource #2. And I can't help but wonder: If my code remains the same,and the only thing that has changed are the pci io addresses, and a code written for DOS has no problem, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? I'm sorry but this is really getting on me... Dimitris Lampridis ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
