I have the early stages of target mode working under FreeBSD-CAM right now and it allows mixed mode operation (you can behave as an initiator and a target at the same time). The code has not been optimized yet to fit into the aic7880 yet, but it does work on the aic7895 and aic7890/91/96/97. In the next week or so, I should be finishing up advanced message handling, error recovery, and code optimization. There is also a sample "peripheral driver" that emulates a processor target device. Getting target mode to work correctly and robustly under Linux would not be easy. I actually took at look at how hard it would be for a client that originally wanted to use Linux for an embedded application. What has taken me a few weeks to accomplish under FreeBSD-CAM would have taken months or re-architecture work under Linux. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
