9 Introduction
10 ------------
11
12 The Zorro bus is the bus used in the Amiga family of computers. Thanks to
13 AutoConfig(tm), it's 100% Plug-and-Play.
14
15 There are two types of Zorro buses, Zorro II and Zorro III:
16
17 - The Zorro II address space is 24-bit and lies within the first 16 MB of the
18 Amiga's address map.
19
20 - Zorro III is a 32-bit extension of Zorro II, which is backwards compatible
21 with Zorro II. The Zorro III address space lies outside the first 16 MB.

24 Probing for Zorro Devices
25 -------------------------
26
27 Zorro devices are found by calling ``zorro_find_device()``, which returns a
28 pointer to the ``next`` Zorro device with the specified Zorro ID. A probe loop
29 for the board with Zorro ID ``ZORRO_PROD_xxx`` looks like::
30
31 struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
32
33 while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_PROD_xxx, z))) {
34 if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
35 "My explanation"))
36 ...
37 }
38
39 ``ZORRO_WILDCARD`` acts as a wildcard and finds any Zorro device. If your driver
40 supports different types of boards, you can use a construct like::
41
42 struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
43
44 while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_WILDCARD, z))) {
45 if (z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx1 && z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx2 && ...)
46 continue;
47 if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
48 "My explanation"))
49 ...
50 }
51
52
53 Zorro Resources
54 ---------------
55
56 Before you can access a Zorro device's registers, you have to make sure it's
57 not yet in use. This is done using the I/O memory space resource management
58 functions::
59
60 request_mem_region()
61 release_mem_region()
62
63 Shortcuts to claim the whole device's address space are provided as well::
64
65 zorro_request_device
66 zorro_release_device
67
68
69 Accessing the Zorro Address Space
70 ---------------------------------
71
72 The address regions in the Zorro device resources are Zorro bus address
73 regions. Due to the identity bus-physical address mapping on the Zorro bus,
74 they are CPU physical addresses as well.
75
76 The treatment of these regions depends on the type of Zorro space:
77
78 - Zorro II address space is always mapped and does not have to be mapped
79 explicitly using z_ioremap().
80
81 Conversion from bus/physical Zorro II addresses to kernel virtual addresses
82 and vice versa is done using::
83
84 virt_addr = ZTWO_VADDR(bus_addr);
85 bus_addr = ZTWO_PADDR(virt_addr);
86
87 - Zorro III address space must be mapped explicitly using z_ioremap() first
88 before it can be accessed::
89
90 virt_addr = z_ioremap(bus_addr, size);
91 ...
92 z_iounmap(virt_addr);
