Nope, also the 8139 drivers are working. As well as the EHCI drivers from Guido Mersmann for Poseidon.
great news! that's very nice! :-)
What about soundcards? does Martin Blom's openpci SBLive driver work?
In contrast to products from this company we are able to support more PCI cards in hardware, as the DaVinci is not a crippled PCI design. Moreover it is planned to publish all necessary programming information for everyone, without any NDA or other barriers (like it was done for Prometheus).
That means that it won't be mandatory to use the gfx card ram as dma buffer? That would allow to make much easier supporting Prometheus on OS4/MOS, because as you will understand, MOS/OS4 coders probably won't like the idea of changing each driver to support extrange classic solutions, regardless of these solutions working faster or not.
I guess that the best idea would be to allow coders to use both methods:
1.-implement real DMA even if it's slower on Z3 than using the gfx card ram but as it's more compatible it would be the default DMA transfer method so OS4/MOS coders wouldn't need to rewrite any driver
2.-optionally allow the use of the gfx card ram to store
BTW, do you plan to provide OS4/MOS drivers for your products?
