The rest of the board-*.c file can be shared. Sanjeev, want to take care of this? Machine ID update info is in linux/arch/arm/tools/mach-types. This strategy will unfortunately involve patching bootloaders. But if the default is to use GPT12, it should work out okay. Hopefully we won't have to do the same thing for the other Beagle-derived boards, Devkit8000, Touchbook, etc. etc. Then again, I suppose this will eventually just be another property passed in via DT, with a single machine ID. > The above assumes the patches in devel-timer branch where we no longer > have the non-standard timer interface, but use the sys_timer entries > instead like we should. - Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
