Make sure that you don't need to run any (x86) BIOS code on your card
to initialize it. This is the main issue with most graphics cards.
Well, my video card is not ATI Rage Mobility M1 EVA, it has not 723
regulator, it use MTD3302 as regulator, do you know if I need change
something on the Lite5200's PCI slot to it work with this video card?
If your card is a true 3.3V PCI card it should be at least possible
to attach and test it. Chances are that it does not work (at least
not without some amount of work).
My Lite5200 is Version 2.0, and Freescale connected some wire (small cables)
to PCI slot, maybe to fix some PCI problems.
You probably want to ask FS about this.

running fine in this board, but until now I am using only serial console.
Now I want use a video card with it.
Well, if your time is worth anything you might find out that the
CoralP is the cheaper solution - or using a graphics controller that
can be attached directly to the bus.

FWIW, I have your 2.6.14 happily running on the lite5200, with PCI,
IDE (no DMA though) and flash.
I can publish the patches, if anyone is interested. Until now I didn't,
as Sylvain's work is considered the official one (but it didn't have
IDE last time I checked -- and I don't have bitkeeper to pull it).

What is the status of the mpc5200 support? I see Sylvain's repository
is still at 2.6.12 (5 months old).

The current kernel.org kernel doesn't appear to support fec/DMA. Is
there a plan to get networking support into the mainstream kernel?
Thanks

I am using linux kernel 2.6.14, downloaded from denx site, it is supporting
FEC correctly, well it show a silly error msg, but work fine.

Wolfgang:
The denx.de web site looks great.
Where can someone get this PCI card? Do I have to contact Fujitsu directly? Cost?
The Fujitsu CoralP evaluation board MB86295EB01? or did you use the Coral PA?
I saw a posting that you also had some streaming video running. Tell me more.
What resolution? 4CIF (full DVD)
What display? LCD SVGA (800x600) and/or VGA analog port?
Software MPEG decoder or does the Coral have a decoder?
Which player did you use?
Is all this covered in some release notes?
Was the katix stuff ever integrated into linux_2_4_development?
How does Wolfgang make a living if he spends all his time answering our questions?
thanks,
Frank Bennett

What is the status of the mpc5200 support? I see Sylvain's repository
is still at 2.6.12 (5 months old).
I just published what I've done (on a previous 2.6.14-rc3 tree by Denx).
It's in ftp://gnudd.com/pub/patches/mpc5200/ (also http://).
I used Sylvain's FEC support, hacked a mb() to make PCI initialize
and ported PIO-mode IDE from 2.4 (with a gross hack about port addresses),
enabled some MTD configurations so cmdlineparts work fine.
/alessandro, who doesn't have a 5200 with him any more.

i think Sylvians should be update in some days. I hope.
you can pull his rep. without problems on current 2.6.15-rc4.
DMA is a problem, because the implementation from Freescale use binary
data, and has some dirty points. This would never be included in the
mainstream kernel. Sylvian has included the new DMA .. works fine for
FEC.
If someone get this new implementtion running with AC97 or PCI would be
fine.
