Okay, that's more-or-less completely useless to me. Without proper support from TI engineers (and probably SVTronics too) I doubt I'd be able to do anything useful towards getting it working. Maybe our stack of Pandaboards are best used to prop doors open. I have probably got a few day to spend poking, but I'd need some pointers because I've done very little kernel work. I guess our best bet for our application will be to get Beaglebone Blacks instead, but it's very disappointing because they really don't have anything like as good a specification as the Pandaboards and there's a pretty long lead time at the moment. :-( Peter -- Dr Peter Brett http://peter-b.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
