We're using a MPC8347 and have FS's 8349ITX ref design which is where we got the idea of using the local bus. But digging into our requirements more we found that we want to support Compact Flash + cards in addition to Compact Flash Storage cards. Also, in the future, we'll probably want to support more than one card at a time. That's why we decided a PCI-CF bridge with two slots would be a better solution. A related question (since I'm new to this PCMCIA/CardBus/Compact Flash world): what is a yenta-compatible device? I know it's some how tied up in all of this, but googling it doesn't give me any usefull results. Or is this question/thread better asked on the linux-pcmcia list? Take care and stay safe. bruce _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
