Re: Au1500 PCI autoconfig issues with multiple PCI devices?

Hi Jun:

To clarify, the DbAu1500 development board does *not* have a CardBus
controller.

Our fabbed board, however, does ;)

Also, before I applied that patch, you should know that I tried plugging in a
PCI->PCI bridge, placing the 3Com card behind the bridge, and the PCI auto
config didn't find the 3Com card. :(

    Autoconfig PCI channel 0x8028c428  
    Scanning bus 00, I/O 0x00000300:0x00100000, Mem 0x40000000:0x44000000
    00:0b.0 Class 0607: 104c:ac56                                        
      CARDBUS  Bridge: primary=00, secondary=01
    PCI Autoconfig: Found CardBus bridge, device 11 function 0
            Mem at 0x40000000 [size=0x1000]                   
    Scanning sub bus 01, I/O 0x00000300, Mem 0x40001000
    Back to bus 00, sub_bus is 1                       
    00:0d.0 Class 0604: 1011:0022 (rev 02)
            Bridge: primary=00, secondary=02
    Scanning sub bus 02, I/O 0x00001000, Mem 0x40100000

After applying the patch, it looks like the PCI autoconfig fortunately didn't
assign overlapping memory areas:

    00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments: Unknown device ac56
            Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 255
            Memory at 40000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
            Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=0
            Memory window 0: 40001000-40400000 (prefetchable)
            I/O window 0: 00000300-000042ff
            I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003
            16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001

    00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 78)
            Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink for PC Management NIC
            Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 128, IRQ 1
            I/O ports at 4300 [size=128]
            Memory at 40401000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
            Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
            Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

It seems like there used to be two memory windows associated with the CardBus bridge:
although I'm not completely familiar with what it *should* look like, I think there
should be two; one for the EXCA and one for the 32bit CardBus (?)

Anyway, cardservices is locking up on me right now. Perhaps I don't have the
memory range right. I'm including port 0x300-0x42ff, and include memory
0x40001000-0x403fffff. 

Thanks for your help, Jun. Hopefully I'll have this working today.

Here's another question:

What are the goals of the AU1500 PCI auto config? Is it supposed to be a full
implementation, or just enough to work with a PCI card? The reason I ask is
that the DBAu1500 has only one PCI slot, so a simple implementation would
normally suffice.

Restated: I don't know if the PCI auto config code was designed to work with
all sorts of wacky PCI devices. I don't know if the intention of the code is to
support the single PCI slot present on the DbAu1500 development board, or if it
is supposed to be more flexible (and complicated). 

Thanks.

-Jeff
