News: I need revision info for ToPIC bridges... 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops
Date: 2000, Apr 06
From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

In trying to sort out some of the persistent problems with ToPIC chipsets, it is becoming obvious that all chips that call themselves "ToPIC95B" (or "ToPIC97") are not alike. I'd be grateful if people could report the revision numbers displayed in /proc/pci for their ToPIC chipsets (and also mention any specific problems you're still having, with the current PCMCIA drivers). So I can see if there is any correlation between the chip revision, and the problems.

Note: Libretto 100 ToPIC97 Rev 20

I'm using a Libretto 100, using the ToPIC97 Rev20. I'm the one that has the interrupt problem with the ToPIC97. The userland pcmcia package works fine in a polling mode, but the in kernel version dies a horrible death when it can't find an interrupt for it.

Sad: IRQ11 conflict causing cardmgr startup problems on 3110CT ToPIC100 ?

On a Toshiba Prtege 3110CT with a ToPIC100 rev 20 if CardServices are started after the network, the system freezes.
By pressing the reset button (in `resume' mode) and doing three to five `suepend + resume' cycles, things recover.
The problem appears to relate to IRQ 11 being shared by the eepro100 LAN interface on the IO adaptor.
Should it be possible to share IRQ 11 ?
Can one of them be moved to another IRQ ?

A HACK is to start CardServices before the network.
Is there a problem with doing this ?

Something to try

Try with the 09-Jun-00 beta on sourceforge.org in /pcmcia/NEW.

Ok: 3.1.17 fixes 3110CT ToPIC100 rev 20 problem!

Re: Something to try (David Hinds)

The user noticed another problem, in that it would freeze if the machine was booted without a PCMCIA card in. Loading 3.1.17 seems to have fixed both problems!

Toshiba Portege 3015CT (ToPIC97 rev 6)

Re: News: I need revision info for ToPIC bridges... (David Hinds)

From: KevinArima Starfox

  Bus  0, device  19, function  0:
    CardBus bridge: Toshiba ToPIC97 (rev 6).
      Slow devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  Master Capable.  No bursts.  Min Gnt=128.Max Lat=4.

This is on a Toshiba Portege 3015CT (3010-3025 is all the same) using BIOS Setting of Auto for the PCMCIA controller. If the PCMCIA controller is changed to Cardbus/16-bit, then Linux reports it being a ToPIC95B.

Haven't had any problems so far other than certain card issues which were fixed in 3.1.16. Have used the following cards: 3Com 3C574-TX (10/100 16-bit) 3Com 3CCFE575CT (10/100 CardBus) 3Com 3CXFEM656C (10/100-Modem Cardbus - eth interface only) 3Com 3CXM056-BNW (Modem 16-bit) SanDisk CompactFlash Adapter (CF 16-bit) Megahertz XJAEM3336 (10bT-Modem 16-bit) Addonics ATA Adapter (IDE 16-bit)
