Obviously your fault :-P

The easiest way to debug stuff is to use an "usbgecko".
It's an adapter that plugs into a memory card slot of the gamecube/wii on one side and a USB port on your PC on the other side. It provides a USB serial connection on the PC and a simple SPI interface on the gamecube/wii which allows to send/receive data to the PC.

I decided to mainline code instead of continuing development out of tree.
See www.gc-linux.org/wiki/Mainline_Kernel for a current status of what's already in.

But, as mainlining is taking more time than I expected (for example, I'm stuck waiting for some USB and swiotlb core changes that the EHCI driver patches for mainline depends on) I may eventually integrate as-is the old MIKE series into a mainline-based branch. While doing that, I'll get rid of all IOS-based support which I don't plan to support on the mainline kernel.

Cheers,
Albert
