Greetings all, I would greatly appreciate some advice regarding getting Linux to read and write to CompactFlash devices behind a PCI1520 PCI bridge on a custom Lite5200 board. I am admittedly new to this process within embedded devices and could use some direction. We're using a recent 2.4.25 kernel from Denx, as well as UBOOT 1.1.1 and ELDK2.1.
My status: UBOOT detects the PCI Bridge just fine. I'm able to read and write to the registers within the PCI1520 using the BDI2000 as well as UBOOT's pci command. I've therefore set up the bridge to use its output to run the power chip instead of reading an EEPROM for its settings. I've also set up the multifunction pins to be "parallel PCI only", as they are connected to hardware "IRQ1" and "IRQ2" of the MPC5200. I've tried several different values for the Interrupt Line register, but am mostly flying blind in this respect. I've enabled most every PCMCIA option in the Linux kernel I could find, enabled PnP and Cardbus support, but not i82365 compatible bridge support as it seemed to scan for ISA resources that weren't there (I understand the yenta driver doesn't want nor need this anyway?). My problem: I can't access anything plugged into the sockets! PCI1520 registers detect a card is inserted, but I can't read and write to flash cards from Linux. I checked out PCMCIA Card Services from CVS, compiled and ran cardmgr and it gives a seg-fault, but indicates it is watching the sockets (debug output seems to confirm this). I can read the status and config using cardctl, but reading the identification or info causes another seg fault. I suspect I may be running into a combination of interrupt and driver issues, but I need a knowledgeable opinion on this. I'm most confused by the line between ISA and PCI IRQs, and how or why CF uses these. I've appended some interesting messages from Linux's boot sequence. Thanks in advance.
