Revision History

-----[ Revision 1.6 ]-----
[ 2012-05-14 22:41:45 by ts ]
R: 1. Compile didnt work with kernels >= 3.x
   2. BKL now completely removed from kernel sources
   3. New CPUs available which were not supported yet in MDIS Wizard
   4. default /dev/mdis major number 250 not free on all distributions
   5. Support of BBIS for SC24 introduced
M: 1. updated MDIS kernel to work with kernel sources > 3.x, tested up to 3.2
   2. new Semaphore added to protect accesses to /dev/mdis
   3. MDIS Wizard updated e.g. with SC24, F21P, G20
   4. use new default char driver major 248
   5. included BBIS for SC24 FPGA

-----[ Revision 1.5 ]-----
[ 2011-05-31 18:23:10 by cs ]
R: file oss_spinlock.c was missing in delivery
M: add missing file oss_spinlock.c to LIBSRC/OSS

-----[ Revision 1.4 ]-----
[ 2011-05-25 17:14:48 by CRuff ]
R: 1. support of pci domains
   2. support for mixed io/mem mapped chameleon tables
   3. En-/disabling of Board Interrupt not atomic
   4. support for kernels up to version 2.6.37
   5. bugfixes
   5a) typo in endian.mak
   5b) mdis device node not persistent on udev systems
   5c) make clean leaves hidden files
   5d) SMB2BB not buildable for kernel 2.6.18
   5e) ELinOS 5.0 and EM1 BSP did not work with MDIS Wizard
M: 1. provide access to devices that are situated on a PCI domain > 0
   2. selection of address mapping is done at runtime for each
      accessed device
   3. make en-/disabling of Board Interrupt atomic to avoid inconsistencies
   4. changed file_operations signature for kernels > 2.6.36
   5a) fixed typo in endian.mak (used for ELinOS projects)
   5b) made MDIS device node persistent (also for udev device file systems)
   5c) also remove .kernelsubdirs at make clean (to avoid incompatibility
       of user rights)
   5d) fixed bb_smb2.c
   5e) in MDIS Wizard, accept ELinOS 5.0 projects without set option
       'Link sources into project tree'

-----[ Revision 1.3 ]-----
[ 2010-08-26 18:39:49 by CRuff ]
R: 1. Support for linux kernel versions up to 2.6.34
   2. Make linking of chameleon library configurable (it's already included
      in some BSPs)
   3. SMB support in MDIS Wizard
   4. Low level drivers need access to info of their BBIS
   5. Bugfixes
   6. Consistency issues
   7. Package contents
M: 1a) MDIS Wizard: fixed location of autoconf.h (moved with kernel 2.6.33)
   1b) Adapted SMB BBIS driver to meet new linux kernel API for i2c drivers
   1c) linux PCI API (>=2.6.31): set pci domains to 0 for all devices; will
       be extended to full pci domain support in later revision
   1d) changed method to get signaling task (for kernels >= 2.6.26)
   2a) Chameleon lib is now built as core library
   2b) Only build chameleon io library variant if x86 architecture AND
       chameleon lib is selected by user
   3a) Added possibility to activate onboard and FPGA SMB controllers in
       MDIS Wizard; SMB devices can be added to the SMB BBIS as usual
   4. added new maccess address mode MDIS_MA_BB_INFO_PTR
   5a) fixed bug in OSS_SWAP32 for signed integers
   5b) fixed SetStat results on 64bit systems
   5c) fixed releasing of VME address window in A203N driver
   5c) fixed d201 driver: bridge header type mask
   5d) fixed device numbers for onboard PMC devices on A12 family boards
       in MDIS Wizard
   6a) Linux SMB BBIS descriptor now contains the original SMB device address;
       Shift is done by driver during SMB access.
       ATTENTION: old smb device descriptors have to be changed!!
   6b) Major number for mdis device node is 250 now (available on most
       distributions)
   7. Added MDIS Wizard for cross compilation on Windows hosts to package

-----[ Revision 1.2 ]-----
[ 2009-09-25 19:34:24 by CRuff ]
R: UOS_Delay causes system hang on slow CPUs with high interrupt load
M: restore old file state of UOS_Delay;
   Known Issue: too short delays are possible when system tick rolls over
   and interrupt occurs
