USB and MPC855T/860T ???

[Williams, Kevin M.]

Steven,

Search the linux-usb-devel mailing list at sourceforge for "1161" and you
should find source posted by Roman Weissgaerber for a Philips ISP1161.  It's
the only non-OHCI/UHCI external USB host controller I know of with a Linux
Driver.  Transdimension (and one other company who I can't remember right
now) also make an embedded host controller, but I don't know of a Linux
driver for either.

Hope that helps.

Kevin

Dear Frederic,

Thanks for your reply.
Since we need Fast Ethernet we are kind of restricted to MPC855T/860T.
Using the above URL it's easy to find out about supported devices like
cameras, disks, whatever.
But finding information about supported chipsets is much more difficult.

And when I am talking about chipsets I don't mean PCI chipsets.

I am looking for a simple USB controller from Atmel, Cypress or so
supported by linuxppc!

Is linux/drivers/usb the right place to look for supported chips?

Any ideas?

Thanks.
