I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.8 on a Soekris with Geode's CPU. As i told you in the last email, i see in the pciconf -lv that the SC1100 Watchdog (which is embedded on the mobo, not a pci card) is taken from another driver. What i'm asking myself is if it's normal that the pci generic driver gets control of the device this way, but then i don't understand how i can register as the driver to that watchdog, or if it's a problem due to the fact that it's actually not exactly an x86. I mean, i just wrote the driver for the watchdog, but being Geode an x86 clone, it may be possible that i gotta not only write the driver but also something more about the porting in order to solve this problem? Am i wrong? I can't see any way to solve this problem otherwhise as long as my driver's probe() function isn't called for my watchdog device! This is pciconf -lv for the watchdog device: chip2@pci0:18:5: class=0x068000 card=0x0505100b chip=0x0515100b rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'National Semiconductor' class = bridge subclass = PCI-unknown I don't really know what to do about that. Thanks in advance Claudio Martella P.S. = please reply to claudio.martella@acaro.org
