I've used 16550 serial ports with the m8xx_pcmcia driver. It did not work right out of the box then (2.2), I think some structure was shared between 8xx_io/uart.c and the generic 16550 serial.c. And I think serial.c poked around in some unmapped io-space.
If you get a list of working cards, maybe they could be put in the embedded powerpc howto? / Magnus Matthew Locke wrote: > > Fanny Wakizaka wrote: > > >Hi, > >We are developing a custom hw based on the MPC855 with support to PCMCIA.
