That's got the interrupt controller, and presumably Thomas' tree has the
timer.
Is it likely to go upstream this dev cycle? Basic j2 board support did,
and as I said it hangs before userspace without the rest of the
interrupt controller and timer plumbing (which are currently only used
by this board).
The above message to the j-core list had an attached patch that adds the
missing bits to -rc2. I tested that patch and it worked for me:
Tested-by: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net>
I just checked the current git pull (not quite rc3) and vanilla is still
hanging at the same place, and the patch still applies cleanly. I'm
aware we're in bugfix-only mode, but "kernel hangs before launching
init" seems bug-ish to me.
