Hi everybody, Linux USB host support for the CPM, CPM2 and CPM2 pro is far from complete. Many people showed interest on this list (and on linuxppc-embedded) in the past, but nobody managed to complete a driver and get it merged.that is mainly because of its semi-software nature. However, any approach would be helpful I beleive.=20 The CPM/CPM2 USB host controller does indeed put some pressure on the CPU. The PowerQuick III family is much better in that respect as its USB host controller is EHCI compliant.=20 I didn't yet compare with CPM/CPM2, but I wonder if PQIIPro (MPC8360E) USB controller is similar to cpms?..
=46rom what I recall, it is similar, but ucc usb should work fine, at least according to RM it does all the necessary things in hw so the cpu isn't hogged with say SOF generation.
I tried to forward-port FHCI from Freescale 2.6.11 kernels. Twice. But these efforts always stumbled over more important tasks. =20
