Sandpoint support is in it. I tried that new version and it's a bit more difficult to get running than the one from MontaVista (remeber that I have a board -similar- to Sandpoint). The function time_init() was giving me problems so I decided to take it out for the moment, but now I'm stuck in calibrate_delay() (jiffies doesn't increase), so I guess it was a bad idea to take time_init() out. Anyway, I have another question. In the header from arch/ppc/kernel/sandpoint_setup.c,I see the following comment: * The firmware on the sandpoint is called DINK (not my acronym :). This port * depends on DINK to do some basic initialization (e.g., initialize the memory * ctlr) and to ensure that the processor is using MAP B (CHRP map). Since I don't really have a Sandpoint, and I don't have the DINK which comes with it, I guess I will run into trouble. Is there a place where I could find info on what I should do I exactly as far as initialization goes?!? Thanks, Sébas.. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
