If you're REALLY interested in knowing everything about Compact Flash, go here: http://www.compactflash.org/ You can download the spec, which should help you sleep. If you want to know how to interface Compact Flash to your Local Bus, here's a good document. I'm not intimately familiar with the 8360, but unless Freescale has changed their LBC design, it should apply: http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/ApplNote/TSB_CF-Motorola_PPC8260_030325.pdf You shouldn't have to write your own driver for this. I don't feel totally comfortable giving you somebody else's code that isn't necessarily finished, but since you could Google it yourself anyway, here's a link to one that was put up for comment several months ago. I had no part in authoring it and have no idea where it stands regarding inclusion in the kernel, so please treat it as experimental. It will require a bit of work on your part to understand how to specify platform devices. http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/1/47 regards, Ben _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
