Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1092 Lines: 30 hi, I've got a PCI card that has an FPGA on it which I want to program at run time, and then load a device driver for depending on what I've loaded in to the FPGA, The FPGA is downloaded via JTAG so that is all fine, but if I boot Linux, download over the JTAG, how can I get Linux to see the device? can I use the hotplugging support or do I still need to do more work? I know the hotplug allows for PCMCIA and CompactPCI to add devices after boot, but this is plain PCI but the device won't be there until the system is running, I know I can in theory put an image in the FPGA from an EEPROM which enough to get by, but I'd rather not put an EEPROM anywhere near the board if possible, Thanks, Dave. -- David Airlie, Software Engineer http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied / airlied@skynet.ie pam_smb / Linux DecStation / Linux VAX / ILUG person - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
