From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Subject: new code for an mpc8xx board (dbox2) From: Andreas Oberritter To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1059878529.665.50.camel@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: 03 Aug 2003 04:42:09 +0200 Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi, I'd like to get support for the dbox2, which is a DVB receiver with an mpc823 cpu, into the linux kernel, to make it bootable without further patching. Since I am new to submitting kernel patches, I don't know who to ask best for inclusion. Benjamin Herrenschmidt pointed me to this mailing list. On which kernel tree shall patches be based to get into vanilla 2.4? The current patchset against linux-2.4.22-pre6 can be viewed via webcvs at http://cvs.tuxbox.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tuxbox/cdk/Patches/ I will create a new set as soon as I know which tree to use best. I'd also like to know if there is a better way to handle edge triggered interrupts on 8xx than it is done in linux-2.4.22-pre6-dbox2-irq.diff. Should CONFIG_DBOX2 be removed in this patch or maybe replaced by CONFIG_8xx? I think linux-2.4.22-pre6-dbox2-board.diff is a trivial patch and will not offend any other boards. linux-2.4.22-pre6-dbox2-watchdog.diff is needed because the bootloader of this board enables the watchdog. Since it is a generic implementation for handling an 8xx watchdog, I'd add CONFIG_8xx_WATCHDOG for it instead of CONFIG_DBOX2, if no one complains.
