		Writing Device Drivers for Zorro Devices
		----------------------------------------

Written by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
Last revised: February 27, 2000


1. Introduction
---------------

The Zorro bus is the bus used in the Amiga family of computers. Thanks to
AutoConfig(tm), it's 100% Plug-and-Play.

There are two types of Zorro busses, Zorro II and Zorro III:

  - The Zorro II address space is 24-bit and lies within the first 16 MB of the
    Amiga's address map.

  - Zorro III is a 32-bit extension of Zorro II, which is backwards compatible
    with Zorro II. The Zorro III address space lies outside the first 16 MB.


2. Probing for Zorro Devices
----------------------------

Zorro devices are found by calling `zorro_find_device()', which returns a
pointer to the `next' Zorro device with the specified Zorro ID. A probe loop
for the board with Zorro ID `ZORRO_PROD_xxx' looks like:

    struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;

    while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_PROD_xxx, z))) {
	if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
				  "My explanation"))
	...
    }

`ZORRO_WILDCARD' acts as a wildcard and finds any Zorro device. If your driver
supports different types of boards, you can use a construct like:

    struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;

    while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_WILDCARD, z))) {
	if (z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx1 && z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx2 && ...)
	    continue;
	if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
				  "My explanation"))
	...
    }


3. Zorro Resources
------------------

Before you can access a Zorro device's registers, you have to make sure it's
not yet in use. This is done using the I/O memory space resource management
functions:

    request_mem_region()
    check_mem_region()		(deprecated)
    release_mem_region()

Shortcuts to claim the whole device's address space are provided as well:

    zorro_request_device
    zorro_check_device		(deprecated)
    zorro_release_device


4. Accessing the Zorro Address Space
------------------------------------

The address regions in the Zorro device resources are Zorro bus address
regions. Due to the identity bus-physical address mapping on the Zorro bus,
they are CPU physical addresses as well.

The treatment of these regions depends on the type of Zorro space:

  - Zorro II address space is always mapped and does not have to be mapped
    explicitly using ioremap().
    
    Conversion from bus/physical Zorro II addresses to kernel virtual addresses
    and vice versa is done using:

	virt_addr = ZTWO_VADDR(bus_addr);
	bus_addr = ZTWO_PADDR(virt_addr);

  - Zorro III address space must be mapped explicitly using ioremap() first
    before it can be accessed:
 
	virt_addr = ioremap(bus_addr, size);
	...
	iounmap(virt_addr);
