As you talk about tbot, here current test results with 2016.05: powerpc mpc5200 based tqm5200 board: http://xeidos.ddns.net/tests/test_db_auslesen.php#24 at91 boards (incl. test/py/test.py results): (here all my current patches in my Patchwork ToDo list + DM patches from Simon, plus my DM preparation patches for this boards, not yet posted, are also applied on Top of current master, so, commit id, is somewhat different) http://xeidos.ddns.net/tests/test_db_auslesen.php#25 http://xeidos.ddns.net/tests/test_db_auslesen.php#26 http://xeidos.ddns.net/tests/test_db_auslesen.php#27 bye, Heiko -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, Managing Director: Wolfgang Denk HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany
