From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <36A7CD79.D769782E@jlc.net> Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 19:59:38 -0500 From: Dan Malek MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Cort Dougan CC: linuxppc-dev Subject: Kernel 2.2p7 for embedded Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I just finished the merge of the 8xx embedded processor changes to the 2.2-pre7 kernel. They can be found on linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu in the embedded directory. I created a patch file as well against the kernel.org original. This is not completely useful by itself since there are several new files not represented in the patch. This is mainly for porting references. In addition to the merge, it also includes Cort's new interrupt handler functions. Cort, take a look at this because there were some minor changes I had to make :-). The CPM Ethernet driver (all but 860T) includes modfications sent to me by Pierre Vandwalle. This is better but there is still some bug there that is getting my attention. I have run this kernel on my MBX, RPX-Lite and BSE ip-Engine boards. The only requirement is at least 6 MBytes of DRAM. I have not yet tested initrd. Upcoming events. The kernel still enables write-through cache. I will upload the new ld.so that is required for copy-back cache (it assumes a cache line size that is not correct on the 8xx). I will also upload all of libraries that are built from the glibc RPM. These have software floating point and enable many more programs to work correctly. I also have some programs built for the software floating point world that I will upload as well. I also see that I am _still_ behind the latest kernel :-). -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
