Re: query: IP over PCI?

haven't been completely ported back to ARM. I also added a console over PCI, to avoid the need for a serial cable to each plug-in card. This code is available as a patch for 2.2 kernels at: ftp://ftp.agelectronics.co.uk/pub/pcimsg-patch-20001201.gz - Adrian Cox - To unsubscribe from this li

ctor? 0 is a bit of a hack, and I'm using it now in PowerPC systems with no ISA bus. 1 has logical consistency, but requires changes to the mm code. 2 has the huge advantage of not requiring changes to the mm code, but I'm not sure that destructors are really meant for this sort of trick.

;s just not practical. About 30MB for a cross-compilation environment capable of building kernels. Then add whatever libraries you need if you want to build userspace, and another 5 or so MB for C++. It's less than a built kernel tree. - Adrian Cox, AG Electronics - To unsubscribe from this

There is a trick to route that interrupt to an external APIC involving config register 0x58 in function 0, but I've not used it. Most southbridge functions work this way. The USB on the 686B is like this, and the the IDE controller always generates the legacy IRQ 14/15. - Adrian Cox - To
