Hi,

Does anyone know how to configure the hot swap drivers to include serial
bridges?
My system is a rack controller with 14 cPCI slots, 7 on bus two and 7 on bus
3. Bus 3 extends from a bridge on bus 2!
I need to add slotpaths to the second group of slots that extend from from
bus2 device 12. The slotpath is something like
'606060' --> device 12 on the bus that sits on bridge device 12 on the bus
that sits on device12 on bus 0.

It seems that the hot swap driver only excepts double figures as slotpath,
i.e. 6060, since I can see that
everything is ok on bus 2 (that extends from device 12 bus 0), but not on
bus three (that extends from
device 12 on bus 2).

Is this a known limitation of the hot swap driver (only one level of
busses)?

Any thing I could have overlooked?

Thanks,
Robin Mitra
 
Thank you, guys,
I've read these things, they are not very specific about serial bridges (it
isn't clear if this supported or not).

I know that MS licensed Pigeonpoint's HSKit for XPe.

I was hoping someone from MS or Pigeonpoint could clarify if this is
limitation so that I need not try further, or whether it
is possible, and I'm just doing something wrong.
