I use a San Disk compact flash (CF) card on a board with MPC8248 processor. The CF is connected to data and address bus of the processor and operates in TRUE IDE mode. The registers are memory mapped. I can read the file system on the CF in u-boot (1.3.4). U-boot can identify the CF and mount file system correctly.
The hardware is known good hardware. I use 2.6.28 kernel and configured support for PATA for the CF. Here is the setup in DTS file: local...@f0010100 { #address-cells = <2>; #size-cells = <1>; compatible = "fsl,mpc8248-localbus", "fsl,pq2-localbus", "simple-bus"; reg = <0xf0010100 0x40>; ranges = <0x3 0x0 0x30000000 0x10000 0x4 0x0 0x40000000 0x10000>; p...@3,0 { compatible = "fsl,tr5000v2-pata", "ata-generic"; reg = <0x3 0x0 0x10 0x4 0x0 0x10>; reg-shift = <1>; pio-mode = <3>; // interrupts = <23 0x8>; // interrupt-parent = <&PIC>; }; }; Here are some of the related CONFIG items: # # UBI - Unsorted block images # # CONFIG_MTD_UBI is not set CONFIG_OF_DEVICE=y CONFIG_OF_I2C=y CONFIG_OF_SPI=y CONFIG_OF_GPIO=y # CONFIG_PARPORT is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_COW_COMMON is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SX8 is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096 # CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD is not set # CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set # CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES is not set #CONFIG_HAVE_IDE=y #CONFIG_IDE=y # # SCSI device support # # CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS is not set CONFIG_SCSI=y # CONFIG_SCSI_DMA is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_ATA=y CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y CONFIG_PATA_PLATFORM=y CONFIG_PATA_OF_PLATFORM=y Here is the output at console: Kernel command line: console=ttyCPM0,38400 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.15.34.196 :/home/lyao01/work/target_idu_nccv3 ip=172.20.16.150:10.15.34.196:172.20.16.1:25 5.255.255.0:tr5000v2:eth0ff ......
