X-BeenThere: meta-freescale@yoctoproject.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.13 Precedence: list List-Id: Usage and development list for the meta-fsl-* layers List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 04 Dec 2015 14:37:36 -0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII (hope this question is on topic for this list.) long story short: was handed a fairly old box based on MPC8360e on which to install linux based on yocto project (well, technically, wind river linux 7 but ... same difference). was handed an initial, first pass at a BSP, included a perfectly adequate u-boot, kernel and root filesystem, and sure enough, it boots. however, here's the issue. i can see from the architecture overview that there are a number of things hanging off the processor's local bus, including boot flash, an FPGA, some embedded DSPs, and more. but absolutely none of that shows up in the boot messages, under /sys and so on. looked more carefully and the kernel configuration doesn't select the config option FSL_LBC. i'm not a powerpc expert -- doesn't one *need* to select that option to have access to anything on the local bus? and if local bus support *is* configured into the kernel, where would i see evidence of that? thanks muchly. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
