I can't provide write access to them because I don't administrate the server they are on, To write, you would need a ssh account and I juste have one for me and can't create others. I try to publish what I'm doing in www.246tNt.com/mpc52xx/state.txt >>I've just tried just taking the newer one and stick it in 2.6 with the >>fec Gabor sent, but it just crashes so it need more work ;) Dale >>Farnsworth just said it'll look into it and porting new bestcomm as well. >> >> > >My fec port work ok. > > Based on old bestcomm or new ? >And CAN, RTC, and possible CRC32/16 (if it will fast enough) :). > > CAN is not on my personnal project list since I have nothing that uses so I couldn't test it anyway. RTC ? The MPC5200 can't save time AFAIK. And Linux should already 'count' time correctly I think. By CRC32/16 I guess you mean to use the BestComm DMA engine to implement the kernel CRC Library ? I'm not sure I've pushed PCI on my tree ( bk://bkbits.246tNt.com/linux-2.5-mpc52xx ) yesterday night. So if you're in position to test it please report ;) Sylvain ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
