[linux-audio-user] Getting the Echo Mona Laptop to work

Hi all, I'm trying to get my Echo Mona Laptop card to work, and I've done a lot of progress thanks to Giuliano Pochini and Ivica Ivo Bukvic, but I'm not there yet. The alsa drivers written by Giuliano Pochini, though not currently part of alsa cvs, are reported to be working for the PCI version of the card. Echo (the manufacturer) has assured there is no difference in their windows dirver for the pci card and the pcimcia card, so the linux drivers should work for the PCMCIA card as well. The current state: -My machine recognizes the card properly as (using lspci): 04:00.0 Multimedia controller: Motorola: Unknown device 3410 (rev 01) When hotplugging the card, the drivers are called correctly, but midway through loading, there is an error, and the drivers halt. The strange thing when loading is that the card reports a different serial number each time the card is loaded. This points to a data corruption problem somewhere. This problem looks a lot like a problem discussed in the past on this list for the Hammerfall PCMCIA card, where people (Ivica in particular) were having trouble with the Cardbus bridge registers. The problem was solved by manually changing those registers. I apparently have the same problem, since the registers for windows are different for the registers on linux (I checked the registers using hexdump -v /proc/bus/pci/02/01.0). The registers are similar but have something like 15 values that differ. I tried changing the registers manually using setpci, but the problem is that when changing some values, other values I had already changed reverted to their old values, and some values could not be changed at all. So my questions are: Should the registers for windows and linux be exactly the same or is it normal to have variations? How can I force the registers for the cardbus bridge to take on the values I get on windows? Thanks very much, Andrés PD. Here are the registers for windows: 00=4C 01=10 02=42 03=AC 04=07 05=00 06=10 07=02 08=00 09=00 0A=07 0B=06 0C=08 0D=20 0E=82 0F=00 10=00 11=E0 12=EF 13=FF 14=A0 15=00 16=00 17=02 18=02 19=03 1A=03 1B=20 1C=00 1D=D0 1E=EF 1F=FF 20=00 21=D0 22=EF 23=FF 24=00 25=80 26=FF 27=F4 28=00 29=70 2A=FF 2B=F8 2C=00 2D=EE 2E=00 2F=00 30=FC 31=EE 32=00 33=00 34=00 35=ED 36=00 37=00 38=FC 39=ED 3A=00 3B=00 3C=0B 3D=01 3E=00 3F=04 40=28 41=10 42=D4 43=00 44=01 45=00 46=00 47=00 48=00 49=00 4A=00 4B=00 4C=00 4D=00 4E=00 4F=00 50=00 51=00 52=00 53=00 54=00 55=00 56=00 57=00 58=00 59=00 5A=00 5B=00 5C=00 5D=00 5E=00 5F=00 60=00 61=00 62=00 63=00 64=00 65=00 66=00 67=00 68=00 69=00 6A=00 6B=00 6C=00 6D=00 6E=00 6F=00 70=00 71=00 72=00 73=00 74=00 75=00 76=00 77=00 78=00 79=00 7A=00 7B=00 7C=00 7D=00 7E=00 7F=00 80=21 81=D0 82=24 83=30 84=00 85=06 86=00 87=00 88=81 89=00 8A=0F 8B=00 8C=02 8D=30 8E=03 8F=05 90=C0 91=A6 92=64 93=60 94=00 95=00 96=00 97=00 98=00 99=00 9A=00 9B=00 9C=00 9D=00 9E=00 9F=00 A0=01 A1=00 A2=12 A3=FE A4=00 A5=00 A6=C0 A7=00 A8=00 A9=00 AA=00 AB=00 AC=00 AD=00 AE=00 AF=00 B0=00 B1=00 B2=00 B3=00 B4=00 B5=00 B6=00 B7=00 B8=00 B9=00 BA=00 BB=00 BC=00 BD=00 BE=00 BF=00 C0=00 C1=00 C2=00 C3=00 C4=00 C5=00 C6=00 C7=00 C8=00 C9=00 CA=00 CB=00 CC=00 CD=00 CE=00 CF=00 D0=00 D1=00 D2=00 D3=00 D4=00 D5=00 D6=00 D7=00 D8=00 D9=00 DA=00 DB=00 DC=00 DD=00 DE=00 DF=00 E0=00 E1=00 E2=00 E3=00 E4=00 E5=00 E6=00 E7=00 E8=00 E9=00 EA=00 EB=00 EC=00 ED=00 EE=00 EF=00 F0=00 F1=00 F2=00 F3=00 F4=00 F5=00 F6=00 F7=00 F8=00 F9=00 FA=00 FB=00 FC=00 FD=00 FE=00 FF=00 and for linux (notice you have to switch the order of the pairs): 0000000 104c ac42 0007 0210 0000 0607 a808 0082 0000010 1000 2000 00a0 0200 0400 b004 0000 2040 0000020 f000 207f 0000 2080 f000 20bf 4000 0000 0000030 40fc 0000 4400 0000 44fc 0000 01ff 0700 0000040 1028 00d4 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000050 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000060 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000070 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000080 f021 3024 0600 0000 0081 000f 3002 0503 0000090 a6c0 6064 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000a0 0001 fe12 8000 00c0 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000b0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000c0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000d0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000e0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 00000f0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 See registers: 0D, 10,12,13, 18,19, 1B, 1A, 1E,1F, 21,23,23, 25, 26,27, 29,2A,2B,2D, 31, 35, 39, 3C, 3F, 81, A5
