I have now checked in VHDL that will make the FPGA version of the board work, and fixes PCMCIA operation.

 

I have tested this on 2.6.29-1 (using Menuconfig) and Nick Bane is testing on 2.6.34.

2.6.29-1 works fine, although Nick reports a possible problem with some wireless LAN cards.

I’ve had CF flash cards and Wired LAN working fine.

 

Nick has fixed a number of issues with 2.6.34 and PCMCIA and he will CI those once they are fully tested.

 

The only obvious outstanding issue is that the PCMCIA cards do not suspend and so current consumption is high with a card in.

(Fine if no card present). I will look at fixing this if anyone is interested.

 

I would point out that there is no need to upgrade CPLD based cards as these updates only affect FPGA and PCMCIA.

 

I have also altered the way the VHDL switches between VLIO and No VLIO operating modes and anyone who wishes to test VLIO should read the comments in the VHDL. We believe that the 88 series Marvel PXA processors have fixed the 48MHz clock bug that made VLIO operation non-viable, but no-one has tested this yet.

 

Once Release 1.0 is complete I will also integrate the PINKO serial patch and tidy up the module interface with a better worked example.

 

Kind regards
