Just for info ... what kind of Linux system are you using > this driver on? I'm using this driver on a custom chip that includes ARM926 core. The kernel version is (currently) 2.6.26. The SPI bus on this chip is the only way to connect peripherals. That's way we're stuck with this Ethernet interface. Our on-chip SPI master is the Synopsys DesignWare one. I wrote a driver for this SPI master. This driver is somewhat usable, but not complete yet. I'm now in the process of adding DMA support to the driver (PL080) to overcome some nasty design peculiarities of this SPI master. Peter Pearse has poster a (incomplete) patch set with a driver for the PL080 DMA controller to the LAKL last week, but I see no push for integrating it into the mainline. So I doubt there's any great value in this SPI master driver as of now. baruch -- ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - baruch@tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il -
