Greetings:

Our hardware guy is tells me that the SanDisk can be placed in one of three modes:

1) PC Card Memory Mode 2) PC Card I/O Mode 3) True IDE Mode

The device is going on a custom ppc 405GPr board.

He is also asking me how the device will be accessed

1) on bytes 2) on words 3) or both

I am not much of a hardware person, so I am not even certain if the question I am asking makes sense.

The main goal is to use u-boot to bootstrap and initialize the board, and to load the linux kernel/file system from the compact flash.

Does anyone have a reference design for a ppc based SBC with a san-disc like part on it that runs Linux?

Kindest Regards,

Jerry
