    Hi,

    Does anyone have a real hard drive working with the litekit? If so are you running it with pata or ata drivers? Is it fully functional with DMA etc?

    We are running a patched 2.6.24 kernel from the freescale PDK and have modified the gpio code to select the ata pins. We can connect a drive, identify the drive, and have basic communication working, using the pata_fsl driver. The problems we are having mostly occur with higher DMA levels, but we're having trouble tracking down the cause.

    If anyone has this working can you please post the necessary patch/source to get it up and running. Many thanks.

    It also works as an ide device using the ata instead of the pata drivers, but has the same DMA issues. Just FYI.
