Hi Joachim, I was also interested in getting the PCI to run on the ML-310. I did spend an evening trying to integrate a patch sent over by Stephen Neuendorffer from Xilinx. I managed to get everything to compile (basically I fixed a few missing macros and had to search a bit to ensure that the memory mapping was correctly ported). Unfortunately, when I tried the new kernel, I think that I must have messed something up with the interrupt mappings (I am a newbie to PCI) and I had to remove some interrupt mapping from Stephen's patch. In any case, my ML-310 was booting the Linux kernel, but something was not right and I did not get anymore printouts from the UART Lite. Since I don't have the JTAG cable, I was stuck at this point with little means to debug the system. One day I'll spoil myself with one of those platform JTAG USB cables... I used Z-modem to transfer files to/from my workstation to my CF card on the ML-310 and this was an acceptable compromise. I'd still be interested in having the PCI bus working on the ML-310, but now that I got my BEE2 booting Linux 2.6, its not such a big priority for me. Let me know if you have some success in that direction.
