[Avila] Driver for CF card slot on gw2348-4

[Nathan Wharton]

I think that for the SATA driver you need 0.7.1.
For 0.7.1 to work, you need a redboot that passes the new machine ID.
(unless, like you did, you added support for the old machine ID)

Just because it says redboot 2.04 does not mean it passes the new ID.
The way to check is 'dmesg | grep Machine'
Old: Intel IXDP425 Development Platform
New: Gateworks Avila Network Platform

If you are getting the old ID and you want to use the SATA driver, 
you'll have to add the SATA stuff that is in avila-setup.c to 
ixdp425-setup.c.

You could also jtag to a redboot that passes the new ID.
