Hi Charlie,

  Thanks for the help; but I'm still stuck.

  It looks like there are several different versions of the header 
sdcore.h on TS's web site.  I have now found the one in the ts7800 area 
that looks like the latest. 

  My linkage problems still remain:  Using the EABI variant, and the 
EABI cross compiler chain from TS's web site, I receive:

  LD [M]  drivers/mmc/tssdcard.ko
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: ERROR: Source object 
drivers/mmc/tssdcard.mod.o has EABI version 0, but target 
drivers/mmc/tssdcard.ko has EABI version 4

  If I attempt to use a non-EABI variant, I receive problems because 
sdcore is compiled to use hardware floating point.

  If I modify the sdcore.o and change the hardware floating point flags 
to software I receive a kernel panic when attempting to dereference null 
pointer at startup.

  Any ideas?

    -Brett
