Is your SystemACE controller is a soft-IP? bus-> sysace soft IP -> connetion to the real chip(MPD below) -> chip -> CF In xilinx mhs file there are MPD pins which are data pins and they are wired like this for 16bit mode PORT fpga_0_SysACE_CompactFlash_SysACE_MPD_pin = fpga_0_SysACE_CompactFlash_SysACE_MPD_pin, DIR = IO, VEC = [15:0] and like this for 8bit mode. PORT SysACE_MPD = SysACE_MPD, DIR = IO, VEC = [7:0] I am not sure about configuration but if you have something similar what xilinx has then you should be simple able to change data pins and this will reflect linux driver. what configuration do you use? > > As described in corresponding datasheet > (http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds080.pdf) > CF-card is connected to this IC directly - so CPU itself doesn't have > any connection to CF. I am not talking about connection between system ace chip and CF. xilinx configuration is done as I have described above where we can setup data lines order. I haven't done any experiment with it but seems to me straight forward to do it. > CPU only can access (read/write) SystemACE's registers and by these actions: > 1.

So who may take any decision now? Arnd? I should probably assign it to my me as the part of my microblaze responsibility. And xilinx virtex as part of my work for xilinx.

Only BE or both BE/LE? 8bit BE/LE 16bit BE. I have one 16bit LE configuration too but before I do testing on real HW let's clear your connection. Thanks, Michal -- Michal Simek, Ing.
