I now have access to Cort's BitKeeper, so I will be merging the 8240 I have and it will soon show up in the real sources. If you want something to patch, I created a tar file of the new files and those that have changed. Let me know and I can make that available. It is just the result of my separating the changes for merging. I was contracted to do the 8260 port by a company and they currently have the first version of that software. I will check in all of the software affected by GPL, which isn't everything at this time. I am not going to screw around with software patches for anything less than an A.0 revision part. > Since that time, Dennis Kung (r36232@email.sps.mot.com) from > Motorola Asia-Pacific reports LinuxPPC running the Sandpoint > MPC8240 reference platform. I have contacted Dennis about this software, we discussed some of the porting challenges. I requested this software to merge with mine before checking into CVS, but have not received a response. > What CVS root is capturing the 82xx development activity? I should end up in the "real" Linus kernels almost as quickly as we make the updates. I don't think there will be a separate "tree in waiting".... FYI, there is nothing common between the 8240 and 8260 ports, except their use of the 603 core generic software. The 8240 is a 603 with a slightly modified 106/107 PCI interface. The 8260 is a faster 860.....Very different kernel builds. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
