In the kernel, it is very critical we clearly distinguish between the "core" (the thing that executes instructions), the peripherals (the real difference among the SOC-type processors), and the board design (which will determine how the peripherals are configured). If the information from /proc is just used for pretty print out of information, I really don't care. If there are applications that read this for some internal configuration and flexibility, we better have a standard format. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
