Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers forcing irq on PCMCIA card Post 16427 by progressdll on Friday 1st of March 2002 08:30:48 AM

I am able to install the PCMCIA card but it is giving conflict in a major way.

a fresh installed mandrake 8.1 indeed will set /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to:
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365

That is what i had too. But now i have a conflict with my IDE because.
as soon as i start pcmcia ( via /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start ) it goes
into conflict with the irq for my harddisk ( see /proc/interrupts in my first mail ).

cardctl status will give me the status that the pcmcia card installed.
But the laptop gets froozen. I can only try this in mantainance mode.

On normal boot-up, the loading of PCMCIA just freezes. I constanly
hear the harddisk clicking away. I am sure there is an IDE HDA - PCMCIA conflict.

That is why my initial question was, can i force the PCMCIA device to take another irq
then irq 13. I have tried different ways. Via excluding all the irq's in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts.

forcing it via irq_list, pci_irq_list, do_scan=0, ...

Nothing is helping. As i understand you correctly, it can not be forced?
Is this true??.

TCIC(4) 						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							   TCIC(4)

NAME

       tcic - Databook TCIC-2 PCMCIA controller driver

SYNOPSIS

       insmod	tcic.o	 [pc_debug=n]	[tcic_base=n]  [ignore=n]  [do_scan=n]	[irq_list=i,j,...]   [cs_irq=n]  [poll_interval=n]  [poll_quick=n]
       [cycle_time=n]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the low-level driver for the Databook TCIC-2 PCMCIA host controller family.  It is used by Card Services for programming the TCIC-2
       chip, and for monitoring card status change events.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects  the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.	A non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       tcic_base=n
	      Sets the base I/O port address of the TCIC-2 chip.  The default is 0x240.

       ignore=n
	      Causes the driver to ignore a single socket.  Sockets are numbered starting at 0.  The socket will be left in whatever state it  was
	      already in, so it can be used for cards with point enablers that do not cooperate with Card Services.

       do_scan=n
	      This flag specifies that all free interrupts should be tested to see if they can be triggered by the PCMCIA controller.  The default
	      is 1 (on).

       irq_list=i,j,...
	      Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver, if they are otherwise available.  The default list is 3, 4, 5,
	      6, 7, 10, 11, and 14.

       cs_irq=n
	      Sets  the  interrupt  line  to  use  for monitoring card status changes.	The default is 0, which means pick any legal interrupt not
	      already in use.  Legal values are 14, 10, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3.

       poll_interval=n
	      Sets the card status polling delay, in 1/100 second increments.  If this parameter is set, card status interrupts will be disabled.

       poll_quick=n
	      When a card status change interrupt is received, the TCIC-2 chip is briefly polled for additional status	changes.   This  parameter
	      sets the polling delay, in 1/100 second increments.  The default is 5, meaning 0.05 seconds.

       cycle_time=n
	      Sets  the length of a CCLK external clock cycle, in nanoseconds.	The default is 70 ns, corresponding to a standard ISA 14.31818 MHz
	      clock.
