Re: Re: Gigabit ethernet support of ppc440gx in 2.6 and 2.4

2006-02-16 Thread 廖荣生
Hi Eugene: Does the TCP/IP Acceleration Hardware of 440GX have been supported in official 2.6 kernel? How about the CPU utilization when you get 900+Mb/s? Since we want to do something such as simple datas codec at the same time. Regards, Lonsn On Wed, Feb 15, 2006 at 02:08:52PM +0800,

scatter/gather DMA and cache coherency

2006-02-16 Thread Phil Nitschke
Hi, I've been using a PCI device driver developed by a third party company. It uses a scatter/gather DMA I/O to transfer data from the PCI device into user memory. When using a buffer size of about 1 MB, the driver achieves a transfer bandwidth of about 60 MB/s, on a 66 MHz, 32-bit bus. The

Phil, If the third party DMA driver is not proprietary send it over and I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. I have been working with an (unfortunately proprietary) scatter/gather DMA driver which uses all 4 of the DMA channels on a PPC405gp and have had to fix several cache coherency

module_init macro seems not to work

2006-02-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I use something like: module_init(cpm_timer_init); cpm_timer_init is not called when I load the module. I have to call cpm_timer_init inside init_module() . Bye, Antonio.

I have bought a PE MICRO CABLEPPC (parallel bdm wiggler). Someone was successful using it with Linux? Is there a driver for linux? Bye, Antonio.

[PATCH 2.6.16rc2] EST8260 has bogus bd_info

2006-02-16 Thread Paul Gortmaker
I managed to rescue an old EST8260 board from a life as a doorstop, and after sticking u-boot on it, I was getting nothing but a silent death. I eventually discovered it wouldn't boot because est8260.h had its own personal copy of an ancient bd_info struct that doesn't match any U-boot from this

SMP support for PPC405 on Virtex-II Pro

2006-02-16 Thread Eric L
Hi all, I know MontaVista has commercial kernels for this feature. I also know PPC405 doesn't implement cache coherency. Anyhow, is there an open kernel that has SMP support for PPC405 cores? Does anyone have a suggestions on getting dual PPC405 cores to work under Linux other than having two
