Yeah, I understand how such things go... :) > I find it strange that Xilinx would not invest in supporting Linux 2.6 > for an important feature such as a PCI bridge (not specifically for > the ML-310, but in general) when this can bring many interesting > benefits to an embedded platform.

The PCI core needs a separate driver for generating the right constraints. In EDK 9.2 there is some linux 2.6 support for this, but the code won't work with any of the new kernels. I've pulled the changes into my internal git tree, but for reasons that I haven't been able to ascertain, there are hardcoded xparameter-based interrupt defines in the super I/O bridge controller. In any event, I'll send you the patches directly and you can try getting it to work, although you'll likely need to carefully write the xparameters by hand. If you can get away without networking, I'd do that, though. :) Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
