Re: SPARCbook and wscons

Hello,

here's a newer test kernel:
http://macallan.homeunix.org:6704/stuff/BSD/sparc/SPARCbook3GX_04_02.bz2
It contains...
- experimental PCMCIA support. PLEASE test it, the only PCMCIA card I can find right now is an unsupported
PRISM3 wlan card.
- nonfunctional DBRI - please tell me if it attaches or does anything nasty. It doesn't work yet but the
driver should attach, power up the DBRI if necessary, dump some debug stuff and attach an audio/mixer
device. Playback doesn't work yet, for some reason DMA stops after 64KB.

have fun
Michael

I tested it on my SPARCbook 3TX (which is basically a 3GX with
faster CPU and capability for more RAM) with a D-Link DWL-650 with
Prism 2.5 chipset. An identical card works fine with NetBSD/hpcmips
and NetBSD/i386. It is detected but doesn't attach completely, see
the log:
  http://nuxi.homeunix.org/NetBSD/sparc/dmesg-PCMCIA.log

Seems that the dbri attaches properly, I couldn't find it doing
anything nasty.

I did not boot multiuser on my 2.0.2 userland.

Looks very promising so far, thanks a lot. Time to go -current on
my Tadpole, soon, I guess.

Thanks :)

Hmm, the memory dump at [unmap io] is empty - it should show your card's registers. Could you please try again
with the card in the lower slot? Apparently I made some mistake and slot 1 doesn't use the right address range.

It should work though, at least my 2.0 userland works just fine.

I'm still fighting my U10 to cross-compile a sparc32 userland...

Sorry, I've already packed up the machine to go to a conference,
I'll be back thursday evening. I had the card briefly in the lower
slot, but the sticker on the lower side of the card got hooked
behind the small metal pieces and it took considerable effort to
pull it out again, and the sticker got torn in the process.

No need to hurry :)

I've found something else that may be the reason why your card didn't attach - the PCMCIA controller
supports some sort of byte-swapping, all PRISM registers are 16bit and the only non-0000 in your dmesg is
the PRISM status register ( so it may be the right range after all - I couldn't find anything obvious in the
code ) but the content doesn't make sense as it is, byte-swapped it does. So I'll make another kernel with
byteswappery set the other way around, maybe this helps. Too bad I don't have any supported card here :/

have fun

Hey, that's some verbose output... =)

I've got 2 PCMCIA cards, a 3COM 3C589D and a PQI PCMCIA->CF adapter.

Down below is the dmesg after inserting and removing each of the cards,
both top and bottom slots for the 3Com, just the bottom slot for the
flash reader.  The flash reader looks like it might have worked had the
/dev/wd* entries been there.

Anything else you'd like me to do and/or collect for posting?

Hmm, the disk looks a bit too big. The 3com probably didn't work because the driver still gets endianness wrong.

This one is more interesting..

At least /something/ works :)

Hrm, didn't read that part very closely.

To be full and proper here, this is a 256 meg SD card in a 5-in-1 CF

PCMCIA SBUS and SS5

Hi there,

I am new to the list, not so new to NetBSD (I had it running on my 3/60 a
few years ago). I have a SS5/70 with the Sun SBUS PCMCIA card, so I was
wondering if I could be of any assistance (testing). I also have some other
misc SPARC hardware, including a Ross SPARCplug solo with a single 100MHz
HyperSPARC.

cheers

Sure, give it a try and let us know how it goes. We always want more poeple
testing things.
