Problems setting up Pcmcia.generic for Compact Flash

QNX USERS QNX2 and QNX4
1

Problem 1:
“pin” only return 1 socket, event though there are 2 pcmcia slots.

Sock Win Type Flags PID Base Size …
1 0 Memory C—M--------W None - - …

“pin -s2” fail to return anything. Why doesn’t slot 2 shown on the return?

Problem 2:
On the slot that recognized by the driver. If I insert a 96 MByte SanDisk compact flash, it does not show any IO-addr & IRQ values. As a result, I can not mount the drive.
“pin” command returns the following:
Sock Win Type Flags PID Base Size IRQ …
1 0 Memory C—M--------W None - - …

On the other hand, if I insert a 20 MByte SanDisk compact flash, the driver recognize the CF correctly.
“pin” command returns the following:
Sock Win Type Flags PID Base Size IRQ …
1 0 ATA C—I–±-----W None 0x360 16 7 …

I have used “pin con >> /etc/config/pcmcia.cards” on both CF cards, I also change the default resource address of 0xd4000 to some other address, but the problem persist. I make sure that every times a parameter is changed, I will slay the Pcmcia.generic driver and restart it with Pcmcia.generic -i0. But none of these works.

Any helps is appreciated.

Could you post pcmcia.cards and pcmcia.cfg files?

Here is listing of pcmcia.cfg and pcmcia.cards file. The last [Device] item in pcmcia.cards file is the CF card that doesn’t recognized by Pcmcia.generic.

Could you widen/change the range of addresses in your pcmcia.cfg file (I usually use 0x320-0x35f)
If it doesn’t help, try to remove ‘, mem any+’ line from Sundisk section in pcmcia.cards file. You have to restart Pcmcia.generic after the changes (to be sure they are accepted).

Hello,

I have a similar problem with QNX4.25D . I use a PCMCIA - PC104 interface board. QNX detects and run fine a 3COM network interface cards , but it doesn"t detects any of my several ATA flash cards.

When I use pin I get
Sock Win Type Flags PID Base Size IRQ …
1 0 Memory C—M--------W None - - …

When I use pin cis I get nothing :cry: .
and pin cfg I get the following errors
pin : Unknown or missing card type
register = 0, 0x40,0x40 ; mode level interrupt

I have tried different ATA cards ( 8 Mb , 32 , 64 , SanDisk and Pretec )

Does it exist a difference between network / ATA at the PCMCIA interface level ? ( power supply, bus speed or something else ? )

Any helps is appreciated.

Try the latest QNX4.25 (probably E or G) and post your pcmcia.cfg file

Thanks pky,

I’am currently downloading the latest release of 4.25, but I don’t understand how PCMCIA cards works . specially the CIS information. I supposed than all cards ( network , ata , etc … ) offer the same interface to the PCMCIA driver. and I 'm surprise than QNX detects CIS of network and doesn’t detect all my flash ata cards with the pin cis command.
I 've supposed than the driver first reads the cis and after looks for a match in the PCMCIA.cards file

but unfortunalty, in my case the pin cis command return nothing :frowning:

Do you think i’m wrong ?

This is my understanding of PCMCIA:

  • card holds information about needed resources
  • OS can read this data and program PCMCIA chip accordingly
  • use can start driver acessing the card

Your problem seems to be either:

  • PCMCIA chip is not “programmed” correctly and OS can’t read CIS info (HW conflict??)
  • your card is not fully compatible (doesn’t hold cis info???)

Try the latest QNX and play with resources. That’s all I can recomend you.

The lastest patch (G I think) has a new revamp set of utility for PCMCIA, it actually support 32 bit mode (PCCARD) which works more like a PCI bus.

Try it out

Thanks pky,
I try widen the add port address and it is still not setting the Base and interrupt. I also try deleting the , mem any+0x800 line. It still behave the same way. Is there anything else that I can try?
