Currently only the UART and Ethernet are done. I will send the Ethernet driver to netdev pretty soon. As Konrad said I posted the UART driver to linux-serial. I haven't gotten any response or feedback though, and I'm not sure who is the responsible maintainer for the serial subsystem. Is it possible to push it through sparc-next instead? In that case I can send the patch to this list. Still, the code that scans the bus and creates the device tree must reside somewhere and that is what we want to clean up and put in drivers/ambapp. Thanks, Kristoffer
