[Linux-gpib-general] HELP! - HP82341D, linux-gpib 3.1.3, kernel 2.4.5
|

Dear Frank,
I was most happy to discover that someone has picked up gpib, a great job=
!
After a few snags linux-gpib-3.1.3 compiles and installs fine under my
2.4.5 (Slackware 8.0).
Unfortunately, the GPIB card(s) in our lab are the HP82341D, which are th=
e=20
i/o mapped, PnP ISA cards from HP (Agilent). They use the 9914 chipset, =
and
work under Win95.
I had tried to connect to them under "Ziatech" driver under kernel 2.0.16=
earlier,
(using linux-gpib-2.04) but failed. I was hoping the new release would i=
nclude
a driver for this card, but I see you re-configured the driver scheme com=
pletely.
In fact, I cannot see which driver in 3.1.3 uses tms9914 at all!?
I went through=20
modprobe <drivername>=20
for every one of them in drivers.txt, and in no case did tms9914 get load=
ed.
I looked at the code, and the only mention of 9914 was in the tnt4882 dir=
ectory,
so I tried forcing tms9914 install with tnt4882, to no avail.
In every case, upon installation of the driver module, the BASE/IRQ value=
s assigned
to the card by the isapnp remain unused (in /proc/ioports and /proc/inter=
rupts), and
ibtest does not find anything of value.
Could you help? We are willing to do some coding, but we are not terribl=
y clever
with kernel-level stuff. Perhaps you could give us some pointers? Actua=
lly, if you could
add to the driver tree an hp8234x subdirectory, and put a skeleton driver=
in, and add it
to the list of valid drivers, somewhere in the code, we could then try to=
figure out=20
what to do within the driver (hopefully, very little compared to any othe=
r ISA/9914-type
driver). I looked at the code structure, and although it is a
major improvement from old versions, I am still quite confused by the rel=
ationships=20
of various pieces, and that's where your help would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Here are some relevant snippets.
