Hi there,

According to the ts7800 manual, there's a register at address 
0xE800000C to control the timing of the PC/104 bus, and this register 
should contains some default power-on values.

My problem is that if i read the register with a "peek32 0xE800000C", 
i get 0x16bdc, which doesn't correspond to the expected value. For a 
default ISA strobe length of 40 and a default setup length of 14, i 
should get something like 0x162A8.

If i try with 0x162FF (max timing), the system freeze as soon as i try 
to read anything. 0x162A8 seems to work better, i can see that the 
peripheral board is accessed (there's a LED that show PC104 access on 
it), but the values returned looks a bit random.

I would like to configure the ISA bus in a state which will be as 
compatible as possible with the ISA specs.
Can anyone explain me why do i get these default power-on values? And 
which value will really put me into a kind of ISA compliant mode?

I tried to play with this register, since i can't get a peripheral 
board working, the kernel module need to read/write a couple of 
registers on the bus, unfortunately reading these registers return 
always 0, and i'm sure that i should get something different.
Basically, here is what the code is doing:

// board configured for ISA address 0x180
int io_base = 0xEE000000 + 0x180
volatile uint8_t* reg_base = __ioremap( io_base, 4096, 0);
uint8_t value = *reg_base;
// value is always 0x00 with peek32 0xE800000C 0x16bdc
// value looks a bit random with peek32 0xE800000C 0x162A8

With best regards,
Chris
