<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Using PMC -PCI Adapter card ,i have
interfaced my <b>PowerPC MPC8280</b> (which is configured as <b>PCI bridge</b>)
as agent to personal computer. when this setup having MPC8280 card with <b>powered
ON</b> and connected to <b>PC</b> .<b>PC</b> is getting hanged while system is booting
up. I am finding problem when this card is powered ON state before system is
boot up. But if this MPC8280(PCI Bridge) card with powered ON is
connected to PMC carrier adapter after PC has booted up, it is getting
identified by system and able to watch my device details (configuration space)
using "<b>PCI Explorer Software"</b>. But using this software,
it is showing this single PCI device as <b>31</b> different devices. <b>Why
this is showing as 31 PCI devices? Also why PC is not getting Booted, after
this PCI Bridge in power ON state is connected to PMC –PCI Adapter card
that already in PCI slot of my PC?</b> I am unable to solve this problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>I am finding the same issue even I
am using this set up on Linux based host .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>I approached Freescale support for
this issue by sending my <b>PCI card schematics</b>. They analyzed and came up
with small changes, but still we could not able to solve this problem. So we
wanted to start tracing the problem from software side. That’s why I
wanted to install my PCI card into Linux based host. To
do this whether I need to write /include any driver code into my Linux host .If
I need to write driver code how to start & where exactly needs
changes/inclusions of code stuff in linux code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Already I am studying kernel
documentation and drivers code under source code. Referring Linux device
Driver 3<sup>rd</sup> edition O’reilly s book.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>I am new to linux.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'> Please help me in getting
through this problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
