I have tried to write kernel images to an AFFS partition. If I diff source and target after writing, I get differences, always. Not so in 2.2.10. The AFFS partition is ~2G, maybe that is a problem? -- Frank Petzold, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, CH-8803 Rüschlikon/Switzerland, Tel. +41-1-724-84-42 Fax. +41-1-724-89-56 Business email: fp...@zu...

I'm going to try the 53c770 driver as memory mapped, when I compile it that way and try to insert the module I get undefined symbols readw_l2b, writew_b2l, writel_b2l, and readl_l2b. Does anyone know what these are? I've assumed that b2l means "big to little" etc. I'm not totally sure I should get those errors though because I believe the Power PC and 53c770 are both big endian.

I've added my two Zorro cards to /usr/src/linux/include/zorro.h For example I added ZORRO_PROD_VMC_HYPERCOM_4_PLUS \ ZORRO_ID(VMC, 0x06, 0). However, when I compile the kernel with the new definition and try to use zorro_find the card is not detected. i.e. key = zorro_find( ZORRO_PROD_VMC_HYPERCOM_4_PLUS, 0, 0); The board does not get "found". What have I missed? Fred |

One problem I've noticed with the built it myself compiler (I don't know if the problem I will describe comes from there though) is that the temporary assembler files sometime seem to not get written fully or are corrupted by the compiler before the assembler attempts to assemble them. At least that's the only explanation I can come up with. I get an error something like invalid assembler instruction or parse error. Restarting the compile *most* of the time seems to eliminate the error, but not all the time. Fred |

What speed is it, 10, 100 (gigabit ;) ? AFAIK all Amiga Ethernet cards are 10 Mbps only. These days the RTL8019AS (an ISA chip) seems to be the best choice since it's very cheap and doesn't require much glue to connect to the Zorro bus. Faster Ethernet chips are usually PCI and require PCI busmastering to work, which is a bit more complex than the simple Zorro-PCI FPGA bridges used in graphics cards with PCI graphics chips. But it can be done: the DKB Wildfire accelerator must have a better PCI bus since it seems to have a DEC21041 on-board (from looking at pictures, never saw one IRL, nor do I know anyone who owns one).

I guess the RTL8019AS? That would be the most logical choice. If that's the case, you probably have to change only a few of the first 16 #define's in ariadne2.c and replace ZORRO_PROD_VILLAGE_TRONIC_ARIADNE2 by the Zorro ID of the X-Surf (0x12121700, if I'm not mistaken).

This may be a quick fix for that problem, however AFAIK the m68kserial isn't accepted by Linus and isn't in the native tree nor our 2.4 tree, which should really be our primary development target now.

Hi there. I've been looking at APUS' support for Zorro Ethernet cards and it doesn't seem that encouraging. The FAQ, which is quite old, lists only the A2065, the AriadneI/II and the Hydra as supported. I was interested in getting an X-Surf, but apparently there's no driver for it. I know that it comes with full programming documentation and that it shouldn't be impossible to adapt an existing driver for Realtek chipsets, but these days time definitely isn't something I have plenty of. ;((( The AriadneII could be the second option, but the FAQ says it runs at 10% the speed of the Amiga (SANA) driver. Have things improved in the meantime? The cards also seem to be harder to find, BTW. I could look for a second-hand Hydra, but as far as I know it has only BNC and my hub only has RJ45 (and thus I'd need an expensive adaptor). Ouch. Then there's the IOBlix and its Ethernet module. The card isn't listed in the FAQ at all, but I've found in the mailing list archives that a few weeks ago a driver for the serial port(s) was added. No driver for the Ethernet module, though, so this is pretty much the same as with the X-Surf. Last but not least, the two cost roughly twice as much as the X-Surf (based on Software Hut's listings). Double ouch. And I wouldn't use the serial/parallel ports at all (triple ouch). Any suggestions? -- "A true zen saying, nothing is what I want" (Frank Zappa) Rudi Chiarito SGML/XML, user interface, i18n Amiga Inc. ru...@am... http://amiga.com/ |
