9Introduction
10------------
11
12The Zorro bus is the bus used in the Amiga family of computers. Thanks to
13AutoConfig(tm), it's 100% Plug-and-Play.
14
15There 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.

24Probing for Zorro Devices
25-------------------------
26
27Zorro devices are found by calling ``zorro_find_device()``, which returns a
28pointer to the ``next`` Zorro device with the specified Zorro ID. A probe loop
29for 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
40supports 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

53Zorro Resources
54---------------
55
56Before you can access a Zorro device's registers, you have to make sure it's
57not yet in use. This is done using the I/O memory space resource management
58functions::
59
60    request_mem_region()
61    release_mem_region()
62
63Shortcuts to claim the whole device's address space are provided as well::
64
65    zorro_request_device
66    zorro_release_device
67
68
69Accessing the Zorro Address Space
70---------------------------------
71
72The address regions in the Zorro device resources are Zorro bus address
73regions. Due to the identity bus-physical address mapping on the Zorro bus,
74they are CPU physical addresses as well.
75
76The 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);
