RE: [PATCH] Added support for OMAP35x processor series

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For 35x processors we need to make compile time decisions to exlude the code that may not be applicable for the specifc processor e.g. excluding the code applicable for DSP/ SGX or both depending upon the exact part number.

What exactly do you need to define then for various 35xx processors that's different from 34xx?

How about trying to read the DSP revision register or something similar?
