The Sequoia board (AMCC-440EPx processor) is missing from the new
arch/powerpc. The Sequoia board is also missing from arch/ppc , but
there is support for integrated devices on the AMCC part inside
arch/ppc that needs to be incorporated into arch/powerpc. In
addition, there needs to be a "sequoia.c" file added to the
arch/powerpc/44x directory. I have a good start on the missing
pieces and a test platform, is this contribution desired?

2.6.24 already has sequoia support in arch/powerpc. Are you looking at
an older tree?

Hello!
Yes! I'm looking at 2.6.23.14 as I thought that was the newest
version. I completely missed seeing the 2.6.24 kit, thank you so much!!

FYI, 2.6.24 is considered fairly old relatively speaking. With so much
activity going on for the embedded boards for arch/powerpc, you're sort
of missing out if you aren't running from the latest git trees.
Yes, I realize how ridiculous it sounds to say a kernel that was just
released 3 days ago is old, but that's reality.

Hey Josh, thank you so much for the pointer to the git trees. I've
been using Linus' kernel.org tree, as that's where I was pointed to
by the powerpc web site about 2 months ago. I sure do appreciate your
updated pointer to the git tree, I will now locate it and stay tuned
and participate.

What's the best/preferred GIT URL for current, up-to-date arch/powerpc
activity? Is it?
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc
I am particularly interested in Kilauea/Haleakala-related development.
Regards,
Grant Erickson

Yep, that's the canonical source.

My tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/powerpc-4xx.git
might briefly have some stuff for those that Paul's doesn't at times,
but as of right now they are synced up. Typically there are only
changes on the next kernel branch during the development period for
that particular version.

Josh, you're a life saver!! Your GIT tree is exactly what I've been
looking for. I have an AMCC440EPx based product that makes heavy use
of all the devices embedded in the microcontroller. I'll be able to
give that platform a very good testing.
Now can you help me with BINUTILS? What version do you use and can
you point me to a decent GIT tree for it? I tried to use version
2.18 and the build blows up because it tries to "strip" a script file
"embedspu".
thanks so much,
Steve
