Thanks for the advice. This approach worked well for me, with some minor modifications. First I had to clear PPC_INDIRECT_TYPE_NO_PCIE_LINK in hose-indirect_type, otherwise reads from configuration space fail. And second, I had to call pci_assign_resource() to complete the assignment of FPGA memory. The memory range is 0x0 - 0x7f, and PCI code doesn't like resources starting at 0. Again, thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated. Felix. ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

MPC8536 PCI rescan to discover FPGA
Hi, On a custom MPC8536 board running linux-2.6.31, I'd like to load FPGA code from linux and then rescan PCI-E bus to discover FPGA device. Is that possible ? When linux boots FPGA is not loaded, so initial PCI scan does not detect it. I've tried playing with /sys/bus/pci/rescan and /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan but didn't have much success. Thanks.
