From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <39406AF3.9EB0145C@embeddededge.com> Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 23:56:35 -0400 From: Dan Malek MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linuxppc-embedded Subject: MPC8xx in 2.4 will boot Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I hope it will for you anyway. I just pushed the last of the changes into FSM Labs BitKeeper tree. There were lots of minor changes surrounding MM context and page table arrangement in the later versions that missed the 8xx port. I merged a ton of changes into the FEC driver from Magnus, Graham, and myself for generic PHY support. Don't even think about complaining that this doesn't yet work. I know it doesn't. The CPU6 silicon errata isn't complete yet. The major stuff is there, so chances are it may work if you need it. I have lots of smaller patches from people that I can now add to the tree. If your's isn't there yet, just wait a couple of days before pestering me again. I never add anything without testing on a variety of platforms, including building for my iMac and G4, so it takes a while to make sure your additions don't break something else. If you have 2.2.xx patches and want them added to the 2.4 tree (other than this should have been done long ago into a 2.3 tree), test them against the 2.4 tree and send them to me. I have a program for patching the zImage into a reasonable ELF format that VxWorks boot roms can load. I'll post that someplace and let you know. Perhaps other ELF tools can load it as well.
