At the moment, there is no EMC2 driver for the HostMot2 configuration. Hardware that's this configurable is difficult to use in the HAL model, because the HAL pins you need are dependent on the configuration of the hardware, and can't be changed after driver load time. This means that you either need to specify all of the options on the driver load line (a nightmare when there are so many functions), or you need to export all possible pins in HAL, along with enable / mode bits that allow the user to (re)configure the hardware in HAL. This is difficult at best because some functions require other functions to be shut off, and there are "unintended consequences" - for example, if you enable an SPI port, that disables the I/O functionality on those two pins (though you can still read back the pin state, I believe), so what do you do if someone has connected those I/Os to a HAL signal? I think there will also be SPI blocks in the configurable Mesa HAL driver at some point, FWIW. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
