I'd be happy to take over, but I admit that my current lack of spare
time would only allow me to support Gabriel and you.

Let's wait for Gabriel's response on how he can help improving
Dove mainline with his cm-a510 and baseboard.

Sebastian
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.

Nope. One dove.dtsi, one dove-cm-a510.dtsi, and one baseboard.dts
including dove-cm-a510.dtsi for every baseboard we stumble upon.
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...
