If you were only following linuxppc-embedded, then you were missing most of the embedded traffic. It has been a long time that most embedded related messages have been going to linuxppc-dev instead of linuxppc-embedded. > For me, i was interested to read messages regarding Xilinx embedded powerpc > core.

Yes, but even that is misleading. Sure most of the traffic on linuxppc-embedded was xilinx traffic; but even more xilinx traffic is on linuxppc-dev. Following only linuxppc-embedded doesn't give you the whole picture. g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
