I am trying to port the latest Digi Serial driver to the 2.1.x series kernels
(In this case 2.1.24). The driver works find under 2.0.28 but running under
the new kernel it fails. In particular it fails the first time it actually
attempts to access the board.
Here is the line it fails on :
ch->txptr = memaddr + (((bc->tseg) << 4) & 0x1fffff);
The above pertinent parts are defined as such:
unsigned char *memaddr;
volatile ushort tseg;
bc->tseg is actually referencing our board and is initialized as such:
bc = (volatile struct board_chan *) ((ulong)memaddr + CHANSTRUCT);
Above CHANSTRUCT = 0x1000, and memaddr = 0xd0000
The offset of tseg in the bc structure is 0x8.
So the address below 000d1008 looks correct to me. We are trying to address
the physical location on our board address 0x0d1008.
------------------------------------------------------------------
My question :
Has the mapping changed here ? Do we need to do something similar to the way
PCI address are handeled with an ioremap command ? If this is not correct
how do you go about referencing physical memory.
I looked at some of the other serial type drivers, but gained no clues. Any
help would be seriously appreciated !!!!!
Thanks,
