NAME

       tosh1800-smcinit - initialize the IrDA controler on Toshiba laptops

SYNOPSIS

       tosh1800-smcinit [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       IrDA  configurator  for  laptops  with  ALI1533 bridge (LPC47N227 SuperIO), smc-ircc and not initializing BIOS (tested on Toshiba Satellite
       1800-514, Toshiba Satellite 5100 and Toshiba Tecra 9100) to be used with Linux kernel.

       Toshiba Satellite 1800 laptops are provided with a SMCS LPC47N227 SuperIO chip which is  IrDA  SIR/FIR  capable.   The  chip  is  connected
       through an ALI1533 PCI-ISA bridge.  The IrDA subsystem of the SuperIO chip is supported by the smc-ircc Linux kernel module.  Unfortunately
       the BIOS neither configurates the SuperIO chip IrDA subsystem (SIR port, FIR port, dma, irq, IrDA mode, power) nor sets the PCI-ISA  bridge
       to  decode any usable port.  Linux kernel is thus prevented to detect the second UART making impossible to use it in SIR mode. For the same
       reason, the FIR mode smc-ircc is able to detect the SuperIO chip but, once found the IrDA subsystem unconfigured, fails to install.

       tosh1800-smcinit sets SIR and FIR ioport addresses, DMA and IRQ of the SuperIO chip IrDA subsystem then powers on the second UART. It  also
       configures  the  PCI-ISA  bridge to decode SIR and FIR ports.  All this configuration work should be rather done into the kernel but it was
       more practical and safe to make a small testing tool of it. It can be probably extended to include configuration kludges for other  similar
       SuperIO and ISA bridge combination.

       Testing  was carried on a Toshiba Satellite 1800-514 with Linux kernel 2.4.17.  I hope this work could be helpful, it was quite funny to do
       it however.

OPTIONS

       -a, --skip-decoding-cfg
              Skip ISA bridge decoding configuration.

       -b, --skip-smc-ircc-cfg
