Hi all!


I have to support USB hcd for an Actis board based on a MPC8248 
processor. I already have a 2.6.9 linux kernel running fine on it, 
and actualy have to use it rather than a newer one.
I'm actualy looking for existing or ongoing jobs.
Dear Nathael,
As far as I understand there are several drivers for the MPC8272 usb 
host controller, and none of them is in
official kernel tree.
There's a driver in Metrowerks BSP for linux 2.6 for MPC8272 (the 
Freescale driver), an orignally mpc8xx driver by Brad Parker ported to 
linux 2.4 for MPC8272 by Pantelis Antoniou, there ought to be USB 
driver by ArabellaSW also.
My driver ("http://cpm2usb.sourceforge.net./") is a port of the Brad 
Parker's driver to linux 2.6 with some modifications.
And, ideally we would like to see one driver get into the linux source 
tree that everyone is happy with.  I'm told by someone that the FSL 
driver is suppose to have working host support "was tested/verified with 
keyboard/mouse/diskdrives/network".
We have that FS driver rework in progress, but even now it's quite hard to estimate the finish. The result will proceed upstream, anyway, but this is long-term I afraid.
