Our driver assumes TDMA and was only tested with 88F6xxx and 78xxx, so it seems there's some work involved with getting this to work on the 5182. Let me carve the code out for your reference so that you can try to extend it to work wirh Orion. > Thanks. > >> BTW: out of curiousity, what is the platform based on 88F5281 you're using? > > It's a TS-7800: > > http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7800 > > Does the generic DB-88F5XXX kernel config and existing code work with this device, or have you had to modify anything? > I've disabled PCI but that's about it.
