Ohh, sorry __u64 of course:

/* common struct for chip image exchange */
struct genwqe_bitstream {
__u64 data_addr; /* pointer to image data */
__u32 size; /* size of image file */
__u32 crc; /* crc of this image */
__u8 partition; /* '0', '1', or 'v' */
__u64 target_addr; /* starting address in Flash */
__u8 uid; /* 1=host/x=dram */

__u64 slu_id; /* informational/sim: SluID */
__u64 app_id; /* informational/sim: AppID */

__u16 retc; /* returned from processing */
__u16 attn; /* attention code from
processing */
__u32 progress; /* progress code from processing
*/
};

and than I do in my userspace application:

load.data_addr = (unsigned long)buf;

Is that ok, or must I consider more?

Frank
