[ES40-developers] ide debug compile fix -- and timing questions

[Brian W. <bdw...@in...>]

It looks like a variable declaration got dropped at some point.

In AliM1543C_ide.cpp, add 

u32 base,control;

at line 1108, right before the do { block.


Now for the bigger problem:  IDE instability.  I've been pounding on it,
thinking that I've got some goofy lock problem, but after a quick
experiment it turns out that its not the case.  I removed all of the
locking and it worked just fine -- in the sense that it behaves exactly
the same as when locking is enabled.

So, that begs a much bigger question:  is it the threading or the cpu
clock that's causing the trouble?  They both happened nearly at the same
time so I just assumed that there was locking issues, but I'm becoming
more concerned about the clock.

So...how does the clock work now compared to the single-threaded
clock?
