Re: IDE on MPC821

Its rather trivial to put an ide device - i.e. a harddisk -
directly on the external bus of the MPC8xx - with maybe
some buffering and address decode to select between
IDE's two chip selects - or if you can afford it, just use
two of the 8xx's chip selects.

Hi

Sorry for the off-topic posting but I am stuck to this
mail list. I am doing my thesis for my Master
degree,which I want to build a IDE controller to work
with MPC821. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is?
or give advice where can I find related material, any
example would be great. sorry for my humble english.

Thanks in advance
Jerry
