Ratoc Cf Host Card Working With Oz

[lardman]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the card works fine.

cfu1-driver is in OE now, still need to officially add a new defconfig and patch to allow usbcore.o to build.

Anyone else out there with one of these? Perferably with a different machine (I have a shepherd - C750 and a Collie - 5500) for testing?

Ok, I've just (finally - it's taken me long enough!) tested the driver with the 5500 (OZ 3.5.2 I'm afraid, but the kernel's the same still).

I think it works, but I've not got the drivers available to actually do anything with it. Here's the output of dmesg & lsmod so you can make up your own minds:

After boot (with card inserted)

Then removed said USB mass storage device

Looks okay to me.

Note that I patched the kernel build to produce usbcore (which is required).

There aren't that many cfu1 users out there, so I can just provide the ipk to you (and the kernel patch if you're interested - it enables the build of usbcore & as many USB modules as I could see in the kernel).

Actually, I don't think my cfu1-driver and kernel patch were noticed on the OE mailing list, so if you want the cfu1-driver.ipk (and .bb file) then I can attach them too.

3 posts in a row - I really ought to have better things to do hey!

Okay, the above drivers work for the (old - wrt the C7x0 machines) 2.4.18 kernels. I'd like to get the card working on the current 2.6.x kernels.

I understand that there is a driver (or part thereof) in the handhelds.org 2.6 kernel; it is different to the papai source which I used (I think it has been written from scratch by someone else basically). From a few chats on IRC, I understand that the driver should work, but it still requires some pcmcia glue.

I'm not all that au fait with writing pcmcia glue, so if there is anyone out there who is, or just anyone who fancies helping out, or even just anyone with a few pointers for my pcmcia-glue-writing-quest then please leave a note.

Cheers,

My Zauruses and I have been offline for a while, but I have three Collies with a Ratoc CFU-1 USB host adapter I'm looking forward to getting running again.  I'm fine with using a 2.4 kernel right now; I just need it to work with USB HID right now.  Mass storage and ethernet later.  

Is there a problem with just compiling those modules to test things out?  It's been six months or more since I looked into this.

[lardman]

No, there's no problem, but you (will probably) need to use OE to create the kernel.

You'll then need to patch the kernel to enable the build of usbcore.

Here are the bb files for the driver, and the enable-usbcore patch (for Shepherd, so you'll probably need to make a few minor adjustments for collie).

P.S. Hmm, can't add patch files...
