Hello all,

First of all, I would like to give thanks all people like you for all 
your help and support. I really appreciate it.

DT is new for me, I have never worked using this kind of hardware 
description, so I am involving in many issues due to my lack of skills 
in this kind of structure.

At this moment, I am focusing in the update of the version of the kernel 
on the CM-A510 board (from 2.6 to 3.1x)in order to give more features to 
the system, but as I said before, I have lots of problems.

Thanks to the help and support of Jean-Francois Moine, I have achieved 
to boot the kernel completely and to mount the rootfs via NFS. I have a 
prompt, what has been a very big step for me.

In reference to the structure of .dts and .dtsi files, I agree with this 
kind of structure, of course, nobody as you can consider it better. I 
think the idea of make a dove-cm-a510.dtsi file and different 
baseboards.dts depending of the peripherals used is great. But as I say, 
maybe I am not the right person to decide it, Jean-Froncois Moine and 
you have better criteria.So, whatever you decide I would very happy to help.

At this moment, I am trying to configure the framebuffer, but as Moine 
told me,it seems there is not video driver support for this board in 
DT... :( .

Best regards, and thank you again...

G.D
