A few days ago, I asked the best way to connect an IDE disk to an ARM running Linux.
Now, I'm considering using a Cypress ISD-300A "USB-to-ATA" converter, connecting it to one of the USB device ports on the ARM (AT91RM9200). I see some level of driver support for using the Cypress under Linux, but now I'd like to get any feedback I can from any developers who have gone this route.
Is this a reasonable way to connect a CD-ROM and HD to an embedded ARM Linux board?
Thanks.
