[ELDK] How to Enable USB and SATA HDs on Kilauea Board Running Linux 2.6.29.4/ELDK 4.2?

Hi Joe,

Isn't this a "little generic" question?  I'm inclined to answer "do the
right thing" ;)

For sata you'll of course need a driver for your controller.  Look in
"Device Drivers" -> "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental)
drivers".

USB is a different story.  The driver from Synopsys for the otg
controller is _not_ in mainline as it is not up to regular Linux coding
standards.  However we did integrate it (but do not maintain it) at one
point into our DENX branches of our repository.  Due to being
non-maintained, I doubt that it works in recent versions of the Linux
kernel.

If I understand you correctly, then you are using DENX-v2.6.29.4 tag,
correct?  As I said, it would be surprising if the driver works at all
anymore.

Cheers
