Hi,
We have Kilauea based board using ppc405ex. & it has usb-otg tranciever chip on it.
I am trying to enable USB Host Controller Driver in linux kernel (version DENX 2.6.27-stable). For this to be enabled, I also have to enable PCI in kernel config.
But when I load the kernel uImage with both USB Host Controller & PCI options selected in kernel config, the board doesn't boot up properly. Boot process halts after loading device tree.
When I load the kernel without PCI options selected, kernel boots up properly. But removing PCI config option also removes USB Host Controller options in kernel.
My questions are:
1. Why is PCI config required for USB Host Controller options to be enabled in kernel config?
2. What needs to be done to boot our board with PCI & USB enabled kernel?
Best regards,
-Jignesh
