This is already reserved [1]. U-boot shouldn't use the new mach-id until it is in mainline Linux. Linux won't accept new ARM boards unless they are moving towards device tree. I submitted an RFC patch to add dreamplug support to Linux (no devicetree) [2] and I'm currently learning devicetree [3]. Any pointers anyone might have for ARM devicetree would be much appreciated. ;-) You can do item #3 on your bullet list with the patches I've submitted to u-boot [4]. items #1 and #2 require reading from flash to ram, then hexdumping the ram to stdout over serial and capture to a file on your computer. Then, revert it to binary. See here [5]. hth, Jason.

Is this something new? You just need machine-id in mach-types.h to get in dreamplug patches mainlined into u-boot. I have added earlier machine id through http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/?action=new Doesn't this work now? Regards..

And here comes Russell ... if I count 5 pts for "f-word" and 1 pts for every other naughty word, I'm at 17 pts only today after discussing the mach-types issue ;-) Anyway, the fix for the gplugd (is it the samy thing?) is in mainline I think and scheduled for 3.1. > > > I have added earlier machine id through > > http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/?action=new > > Correct, this is how I added MACH_DREAMPLUG (3550). > > > Doesn't this work now? > > it should, however, Linus' tree only has up to #3494 [1].

I said gplugd ... anyway, it's just something I figured out the hard way throughout todays discussion (previous word might be used incorrectly here) with Russell King ... that they did some shuffling with machIDs. There are so many plugs there I lost track of which is called what. Cheers > > --Adam ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
