The board I have is labeled Creator Ci40, and grep'ing in the MIPS DT files, led me to pistachio_marduk.dts. > I thought those were dead, but it seems there are some Pistachio > boards around ? This was given to me by Imagination a couple years ago, but I never had the time to get it into kernelCI, and then the interest from Imagination "went away." ;) If nobody cares about this particular board, I don't really want to waste any time on it either. But, if there are other boards that people actually care about we should integrate into kernelCI, and that someone wants to donate, I'd prefer to setup those. Kevin
