Yeah, I'm working on the 7450 as we speak. Probably won't sleep this weekend because I need to have the demo done for Linux world. The Linux part was easy, the demo sucks :-). I did the original 8240 long ago, which was some "up to date" 2.3.18 kernel or something at the time. I'm sure that is still floating around someplace :-). > Also, if I wanted to build my own kernel for a Sandpoint system, what > source tree should I use? Let me clean mine up a little (I'm actually doing 405 at the moment) and put it on a server someplace. No promises, but it should be better than anything else right now. The Sandpoint seems to always be one of those "background" projects that can't gain momentum. > ......

I'll send you my little downloader as well if you wish. The easiest way is I just blow the bits over the JTAG with my Abatron.... > .....
