SMC2

[Wohlgemuth, Jason]

Grant,

Look in your PowerQuicc 860 User's Manual on page 34-9,

Their is a table which show the proper pbpar,pbdir setting to enable smc2 (I
think).  I don't know how to explain the pbodr setting right off the top of
my head.  But it is in pages close to this one.

Hope that helps,
Jason

I have been looking at uart.c in the kernel and have come across
something that I cannot figure out. Perhaps I am just being stupid.
Perhaps someone can set me straight please.

The following code is taken fron uart.c and is used to set up either
both SMC2 and SMC1 pins or, in the #else, just set up SMC1's pins.

#if USE_SMC2
        cp->cp_pbpar |= 0x00000cc0;
        cp->cp_pbdir &= ~0x00000cc0;
        cp->cp_pbodr &= ~0x00000cc0;
#else
        /* This will only enable SMC1 if you want SMC2 for something
else.
        */
        cp->cp_pbpar |= 0x000000c0;
        cp->cp_pbdir &= ~0x000000c0;
        cp->cp_pbodr &= ~0x000000c0;
#endif

When I look at my manuals, I see no reference made to the bits 20 and 21
in pbpar, pbdir or pbodr. How does setting those bits enable the SMC2
pins? Those are located in Port A (PA8 and PA9)

I guess my point is why are the Port B registers being modified for SMC2
pins which are found in Port A?
