Re: PCMCIA Modem/Serial Cards and MPC8xx?

Rod,

Thanks for your reply.

I am not at my desk but can tell you that you will have to change the
options for serial driver.  I have use the PCMCIA for serial ports but I
have setup both the MPC8xx uarts and a standard 16550 uart chip to work in
the same Linux kernel.

Could you please give my a pointer how you did that?
Did you have MPC8xx uarts _and_ a standard 16550 uart _and_ PCMCIA?

 from the look of your kernel output you have not
emabled any serial options so your driver is looking for a build in 16550
and failing to find one.

Hmm. But even if I define one. The kernel won't find a UART if it's on
PCMCIA since PCMCIA is started much later... ?

there is a file in <kernel root>/include/asm
called serial.h this fle contains the devines for the serial ports used
butthe kernel.  There are not used by the MPC8xx uart driver. You are going
to have to figure out what you want to definein there for your PCMCIA serial
port.

Any hints?

Thanks,

Steven
