iMX537 PATA driver

xuhuixie — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:20:59 GMT

We want to use the PATA interface of iMX537, but there is no its driver in Linux. Can you provide this driver for us or help us to develop it?

Hi Xuhui

please look at i.MX31 PDK pata example in attached Linux Manual

sect.37.3 Source Code Structure Configuration, one can try to reuse it

i.MX31PDK 1.5 Standard Software Linux (REV 1.5)

hi,Igor. Thank your answer. But I can not know how to transfer the pata driver of imx31 Linux to that of imx53. The reason is that the pata option is canceled in the ATA of Linux for imx53. Can you give me more suggestions?

best regards
