[U-Boot-Users] CF card in memory mapped mode without PCMCIA controller
Hi, I'm going to use CF card in memory-mapped mode (not true IDE because HS is required), but without PCMCIA interface chip (necessary signals will be software/glue-logic generated). Will U-Boot like this? Or, will it be difficult to port it to use such mode? Maybe somebody has an example of such solution?
Thank in advance, -- Andriy Korud

Andriy:
I previously pointed you to the Sandburst Metrobox and Karef ports. You had mentioned (on the linuxppc-embedded) that you're using ppc4xx. The SB Metrobox and karef are 440GX based boards.
We use FAT for loading the kernel, then the kernel mounts an ext3 partition on the cf for its root fs.
Take a look at include/configs/METROBOX.h and board/sandburst/*
