From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 11:44:16 -0400 (EDT) From: "Robert P. J. Day" To: Embedded Linux PPC list Subject: value of XIP? and whether it works with 2.6 kernel? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: working with a recent post to the MTD mailing list, and reading the wiki part on XIP over at www.denx.de, i'm curious about who's using XIP with the 2.6 kernel, specifically with the 8xx boards. as i read it from david w's post on the MTD list, XIP has limited value since flash is noticeably more expensive than RAM anyway. so, thoughts? who's actually using this? and it's not clear from the DENX page that there's a patch for the 2.6 kernel -- that page refers specifically to 2.4. anyway, i'm just curious, wondering whether it would be worth giving it a try, just for the entertainment value. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
