Hello Ameet Patil I am looking for linux kernel source 2.6.16 with system ace controller support. I downloaded the linux-2.6.16 and linux-2.6.17-1 source from kernel.org but could not find any files related to system ace controller ( No xilinx_sysace directory in drivers/block/) . I have checked penguinppc.org also but could not get it. Can you please send to me the link where i could download the linuxppc-2.6.16 source with system ace support.

Hi Raja, I have ported the Xilinx System ACE driver to 2.6 kernel. Find the latest one here: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/rtslab/demos/amos/xupv2pro/patches/linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.2.patch NOTE: this patch wouldn't work if you are using the TEMAC driver. In which case use the -after-TEMAC patch found in the patches folder above. Check the following discussions (threads) for more details: 1. "Xilinx SystemACE driver for 2.6" 2. "Xilinx BSP for linux 2.6" 3. "Kernel hangs after "Now booting the kernel"." cheers, -Ameet Raja Chidambaram wrote:quoted
Hi all, We are working on customized board with amcc 440SPe processor & xilinx System Ace controller. The System Ace controller is connected to compact flash driver. We use u-boot 1.2 as bootloader & linux kernel 2.6.16-2. On the process the u-boot is able to detect compact flash through Xilinx SystemAce controller & able to load the kernel image into compact flash.But when the linux boot's up it not able to detect the System Ace controller or compact flash. Note:we need to have the root file system in compact flash. Is their any drivers available for SystemAce controller on linux 2.6,if their how to get it.please help me in this with regards raja __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sudheer, You need to download the SystemAce patch and apply it to the 2.6.17.1 Kernel. The patch can be downloaded from: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/rtslab/demos/amos/xupv2pro/patches/linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.2.patch Save the patch to the root of the Kernel sources and run the following command: patch -p1 < linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.2.patch Frank <http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/rtslab/demos/amos/xupv2pro/patches/linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.2.patch> // //
