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

232. Probing for Zorro Devices
24----------------------------
25
26Zorro devices are found by calling `zorro_find_device()', which returns a
27pointer to the `next' Zorro device with the specified Zorro ID. A probe loop
28for the board with Zorro ID `ZORRO_PROD_xxx' looks like:
29
30    struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
31
32    while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_PROD_xxx, z))) {
33    if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
34                  "My explanation"))
35    ...
36    }
37
38`ZORRO_WILDCARD' acts as a wildcard and finds any Zorro device. If your driver
39supports different types of boards, you can use a construct like:
40
41    struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
42
43    while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_WILDCARD, z))) {
44    if (z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx1 && z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx2 && ...)
45        continue;
46    if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
47                  "My explanation"))
48    ...
49    }

523. Zorro Resources
53------------------
54
55Before you can access a Zorro device's registers, you have to make sure it's
56not yet in use. This is done using the I/O memory space resource management
57functions:
58
59    request_mem_region()
60    release_mem_region()
61
62Shortcuts to claim the whole device's address space are provided as well:
63
64    zorro_request_device
65    zorro_release_device
66
67
684. Accessing the Zorro Address Space
69------------------------------------
70
71The address regions in the Zorro device resources are Zorro bus address
72regions. Due to the identity bus-physical address mapping on the Zorro bus,
73they are CPU physical addresses as well.
74
75The treatment of these regions depends on the type of Zorro space:
76
77  - Zorro II address space is always mapped and does not have to be mapped
78    explicitly using z_ioremap().
79    
80    Conversion from bus/physical Zorro II addresses to kernel virtual addresses
81    and vice versa is done using:
82
83    virt_addr = ZTWO_VADDR(bus_addr);
84    bus_addr = ZTWO_PADDR(virt_addr);
85
86  - Zorro III address space must be mapped explicitly using z_ioremap() first
87    before it can be accessed:
88 
89    virt_addr = z_ioremap(bus_addr, size);
90    ...
91    z_iounmap(virt_addr);
