[asterisk-dev] Patch: wcfxo; Failed to initailize DAA, giving up...

[Timothy Allen]

My apologies, in my exuberance I initially sent this to the two  
programmers at the top of the source listing having read all the code  
except the comment telling me not to do what I did.

After spending a week in a lab trying to track down what I thought was  
a hardware bug I have found that the driver fails to reset the DAA.  
Apparently the writer assumed, as did I until I reverse engineered the  
card, that bit 0 in WC_CNTL would reset the PCI interface as well as  
the DAA; however, for reasons I'm unclear on, the hardware designers  
wired the DAA's reset to AUX5; therefore, it is necessary to take AUX5  
low for a few ms and then high to reset the DAA.

Many people have varying levels of success with this card. This seems  
to be related to their power supplies. I have observed that some power  
supplies seem to have a higher likelihood of making the DAA come up in  
a running state (doesn't need a reset).

Anyway, here's the patch- hope I did it right, never made a patch  
before. Those of you trying this please keep an eye out for a spurious  
NMI the first time the driver loads. I saw it once or twice. Not sure  
what it is- it doesn't reoccur or crash my machine.
