Hi, yesterday I started to write an MI driver for the Catweasel MK3 and MK4 PCI boards (http://www.icomp.de/indexe.htm).
The card is recognized, the io space is mapped and the hardware is initialized (firmware uploaded into the card's FPGA). ATM I have two questions: 1. The firmware is large, with about 60k. Does anybody have experience with using a compressed firmware image in the driver, which is uncompressed on the fly, while uploading it to the chip? How would I do that? (This would probably make sense for most firmware, so a common interface in the kernel could be quite useful.) 2. The card also supports two (Amiga/Atari-style) digital joysticks. It would be nice to make them appear as joy(4). Is it possible to use the same device major number as /dev/joy* but with a another driver than src/dev/ic/joy.c? -- Frank Wille
