<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=080062814-03082005>Hi
all,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=080062814-03082005>I am developing a
linux driver (2.6.10) for Freescale MPC8541E (customized board) to read and
write 8 buffers (each buffer is 960 bytes long) every 10 ms to/from a
custom made PCI card with on board DSP Chip. The chip's internal and
external memories are memory mapped to the CPU address
space. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=080062814-03082005>For reason that is
beyond the discussion here, the DMA request line on the PCI card is not
connected although the PCI card has DMA capabilities. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=080062814-03082005>So what are my
options? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=080062814-03082005>Could I still do DMA
transfer from the Host to the device?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
