But in the galileo tree, it's: if [ "$CONFIG_MOT_MVP" = "y" ]; then define_bool CONFIG_GT64260 y define_int CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE_BAUD 115200 fi ... if [ "$CONFIG_USE_PPCBOOT" != "y" ]; then int 'Serial Console Baudrate' CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE_BAUD 115200 fi So the MVP uses 115200, and possibly even DINK does, and anyone else gets to pick or assumes 9600. > Having "$CONFIG_GT64260" = "y" imply support for CONFIG_SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG is > also discriminatory and undemocratic. Should we also imply the same then for > "$CONFIG_CPC700" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_CPC710" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_UNINORTH" = "y", > etc? No, because right now the CPC700 and CPC710 systems don't know how to setup a serial port for early debugging via ppc_md.progress(). > I mean I don't mind if defaults are changed globally, it's just the > discriminatory treatment of GT-64260 that I violently object to.

The GT-64260 stuff is under heavy development, and between gt-64260 problems and board problems (and possible processor issues) having a seperate tree in which to try and hammer things out between the folks working on it seems useful. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
