newbie: get ppc823fads working with linux 2.3.x kernel...

[raphael.bossek]

Hi all,

i tried here to cross-compile the unstable linux kernel for the FADS 
ppc823 evaluation board but i get ONLY errors while compiling... For 
instance the serial.c source does not compile or other stuff too...

Where will be CONFIG_FADS #defined ? The 8xx_io/fec.c and 
mbxboot/mbxtty.c files check for that... I thing that the PowerPC 
configuration menu miss this token...

Will patches be collected somewhere so i can get reported bug fixed 
within the kernel ?

thx

I guess I didn't write this enough times in the notes....Do not, do not,
configure _any_ of the serial I/O options, and many other things, like
CONFIG_VT.  When you select 8xx for the processor type, the proper
serial I/O selections are automatically made to use the internal
CPM serial ports.

Somewhere, someplace, someday, when I get around to making the CVS
updates.  It was a configuration option a very long time ago, it
never worked, I couldn't test it, so I removed it.  I will put it
back in based upon tested patches from others......

Get Magnus Damm to send you his (F)ADS patches (which he was going
to send to me :-)......

Get on the linuxppc-embedded mailing list.  Search the old mail
archives for FADS messages.
