[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Fix SystemACE CF access errors
by Jeff Angielski 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Attached is a patch that fixes the configuration controller errors that sometimes occur when accessing the SystemACE CF. The patch also fixes the locking routines so that they do not stomp on the other bits in the controller register. Finally, the patch will auto detect the partition type to prevent "Partition x not valid on device y" error messages. CHANGELONG: * Patch by Jeff Angielski 09 Jan 2005 Fix errors that occur when accessing SystemACE CF.

I needed a config option for the compact flash being interfaced on a cardbus in a legacy 16-bit mode. Have grep'ed the U-Boot sources and couldn't find anything that would work. I'll need to document that option. > > Technical reasons: > > I think your changes to drivers/ti_pci1410a.c might have impact on > (read: will break) existing board support that uses this > driver. Did you check this with the previous authors? > > You change the default configuration of the MPC8540ADS board; > did you check this with the maintainer of this board? I'll try to contact the previous authors and consult with them a possible resolution that wouldn't break any existing configurations. My PCI1410/1510 related changes are based on the recommendations I've received from the TI FAE. The compact flash related changes are based on the data provided by SanDisk and SimpleTech FAEs. I certainly appreciate your feedback. Regards, Adam Zajac
