GT-64260B and SMP

[ghannon]

Hi,

We are going to be working on an SMP system using this chip in the
near future  and I am just checking the current status of support
in the Linux kernel.

Is anyone currently, or in the near future, going to be working on
modifications for SMP using the rev B Gallileo Discovery system
controller from Marvell?

Is this already done in one of the kernel trees?

Was SMP support already attempted/successful using rev A parts?

 I do have ppcboot 1.0.5 and linux 2.4.10-pre9 from
Mission Critical Linux for the eval board (rev A and not SMP)
but I haven't yet attempted to get it running.

Thanks,
Gary Hannon

There are several ports to SMP boards happening here with the Rev A part.  I
have still to see a board with the Rev B chip.

Not exactly.  The closest thing will be the work that Troy B. did in the
linux-galileo tree for the Motorola MVP evaluation platform.

See above.
