MPC8280 Support for Linux 2.4.25 and up?

MPC8280 Support for Linux 2.4.25 and up?

[Russell McGuire]

Everyone,

Are there any known issues with Linux 2.4.25 and supporting the MPC8280 CPU?

I have seen some posts in the past, and tried Google'ing for a patch for CPU
support, but have only seen tidbits... Seen some support issues for the 5200
as it also runs the G2_LE core.

So I guess, I am asking if there are patches, perhaps where?

Or should I consider moving up in kernel revisions, to get support for the
newer CPM_2 drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell McGuire

No.

We also support the MPC8220 in our source  tree  (U-Boot  and  Linux)
which is the same family.

On our CVS server?
