From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

It is based on the earlier PCA-200E driver +written by Uwe Dannowski. + +The driver simultaneously supports PCA-200E and SBA-200E adapters on +i386, alpha (untested), powerpc, sparc and sparc64 archs. + +The intent is to enable the use of different models of FORE adapters at the +same time, by hosts that have several bus interfaces (such as PCI+SBUS, +or PCI+EISA). + +Only PCI and SBUS devices are currently supported by the driver, but support +for other bus interfaces such as EISA should not be too hard to add. + + +Firmware Copyright Notice +------------------------- + +Please read the fore200e_firmware_copyright file present +in the linux/drivers/atm directory for details and restrictions. + + +Firmware Updates +---------------- + +The FORE Systems 200E-series driver is shipped with firmware data being +uploaded to the ATM adapters at system boot time or at module loading time. +The supplied firmware images should work with all adapters. + +However, if you encounter problems (the firmware doesn't start or the driver +is unable to read the PROM data), you may consider trying another firmware +version. Alternative binary firmware images can be found somewhere on the +ForeThought CD-ROM supplied with your adapter by FORE Systems. + +You can also get the latest firmware images from FORE Systems at +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FORE_Systems. Register TACTics Online and go to +the 'software updates' pages. The firmware binaries are part of +the various ForeThought software distributions. + +Notice that different versions of the PCA-200E firmware exist, depending +on the endianness of the host architecture. The driver is shipped with +both little and big endian PCA firmware images. + +Name and location of the new firmware images can be set at kernel +configuration time: + +1. Copy the new firmware binary files (with .bin, .bin1 or .bin2 suffix) + to some directory, such as linux/drivers/atm. + +2. Reconfigure your kernel to set the new firmware name and location. + Expected pathnames are absolute or relative to the drivers/atm directory. + +3. Rebuild and re-install your kernel or your module. + + +Feedback +-------- + +Feedback is welcome. Please send success stories/bug reports/ +patches/improvement/comments/flames to . -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
