VME bus access in Linux

[Manfred Huber <huber@europa.uta.edu>]

I have installed a (patched) 2.0.33 kernel on an MVME147 board and
created the /dev/memnc device. Everything is running fine except that
I have problems accessing other boards over the VME bus. I was
wondering if someone had experience with this and knows how I can
access short memory space (A16) and standard address space (A24) from
this Linux board ?

Also, the VME bus access seems to have been changed in the 2.2 kernel.
Would it be advantageous to upgrade to this kernel version in order to
facilitate VME bus access to other boards ?

Thanks,
