Hello,
I played with maple bus devices (VMS, Controller), and and I made
some functions working.
However, current implementation of the maple bus has some problems
and needs being rewritten. Some of them are:
- periodic status request only, and each driver can't send commands
on demand,
- only one request per subunit between timeouts, which is not enough for
storage devices,
- the detection whether the command/request is finished is kludgy.
Doesn't the DMA driver have interrupts?
I believe Marcus is working on the problems and I should wait
for a while, right? :)
