Sorry to be such a hacker folks, but it looks as though I have missed something
very important. The 2.6.29-ts distribution only has "ts7400_defconfig" whereas
Matthieu Crapet's build has a number of other options that might make all of
this work. Apologies for my ignorance, I somehow came to the conclusion that
they are one in the same thing.
Apparently they are not, and I am a confused newbie.
So following the reasoning that the supported driver from TS on LINUX ARM for
the TS-SER1 card appears to be "8250_ts_ser1" for ARM Linux, it might be the
place to start figuring out how to finish this project. Is that correct? Does
anyone believe that modprobe-ing the right combination of supplied TS serial
modules will result in the kernel allowing us to read/write the parallel port
addresses on the TS-SER2?
8250_ts_ser1 fails initialization, and I can tell yet whether it fails
insertion because I have jumper disabled the serial ports on TS-SER2, or
because it only works with TS-SER1. I am about to disassemble everything and
check it out. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Again our config is listed in detail here:
http://www.quakefinder.com/smf/index.php/topic,103.msg518.html#msg518
We are considering three options to pursue this week:
1) Set up a second system and build Crapet's kernel, etc.
2) Continue looking for our connector-injected signals in /dev/mem (doesn't
work)
3) Determine the differences applied in the serial modules and transfer these
lessons to a patched parport_pc driver.
Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank a lot! Our schedule is
simple: a few more days, and then we must take it up with TS directly.
