Anyone have a PrPmc 280/2800 handy?

Anyone have a PrPmc 280/2800 handy?

[Mark A. Greer]

Hello.

I want to make some fixups to the marvell hostbridge and
mpsc code and would like to test them on a PrPmc280/2800.
The problem is, I don't have one anymore.

If you have one handy and don't mind running a quick boot
test for me,  please let me know.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Is there another platform that uses mpsc that can be used for
testing?  I ask because I did spend a lot of time with PrPMC-280
and motload/powerboot; some standalone, some on ATCA-F101.
And with that hindsight, I can't help thinking that the right thing
to do some eight years later is to simply consider removing the
support for these old platforms.  Would that make your validation
easier?  If so, then I'd recommend it.  This is of course, just my opinion.

Paul.

Hmm, yeah, the c2k platform uses that bridge too.  I'll see if I can find
someone with one of those handy.

Since nobody seems to have a prmpc280/2800 anymore, it does seem prudent
to remove it.  It would make validation easier for me in that its one less
platform to worry about breaking.  If I don't hear anything in the next
few days, I'll make a patches to remove prpmc280/2800 support.

Thanks,

Mark
