Hi,
Has anybody ever tried to run EBSA285 in Add-in Mode and access
the PC PCI-ide drive as a local disk? Is it possible? I mean to let
EBSA285 access the disk directly other than through NFS as Mark did?
I am trying to include the disc driver into ARM-Linux kernel, I think I
should at least select the following options as I did for my host PC:
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK Support
Generic PCI IDE chipset support
but the option "Generic PCI IDE chipset support" would not show up
in Add-in Mode, it is only available for Host Mode.
I remember John Kliegman ever mentioned in order to add a Ethernet
card for EBSA285 in Add-in Mode, we have to do some interrput
reassignment so that EBSA285 can get interrupt inputs from the Ethernet
card. Do we also need to do interrput reassignment so that EBSA285 can
get interrupt inputs from PCI-ide chipset? If so, will the host still
function?
Or can I add a new PCI-SCSI/PCI-ide card and a new disc drive so that
EBSA285 can access the new disc drive as a local disk?
Thanks,
Gaixia Zhang
