Re: 8272ADS and Linux 2.6.12

[SIP COP 009 <sipcop009@gmail.com>]

Thanks all for the replies and help. I have the 2.6 Kernel running
now. Here are few of the things that i did to make it happen:

1: make ads8272_defconfig
2: edit .config to add the follow:
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_CONSOLE=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_SCC1=3Dy
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_SCC2=3Dy

3. In u-boot, set the bootargs to
bootargs=3Droot=3D/dev/ram rw console=3DttyCPM0,115200

4.Modify the file arch/ppc/platforms/pq2ads.h,
// #define BCSR_ADDR            ((uint)0xf4500000)
#define BCSR_ADDR ((uint)0xff080000)

Thanks!
