Fredrik, MontaVista completed a 2.4 port to Ocelot-III with RM7900 (or RM7000C) and Discovery-3 (MV64440). Ocelot-III is ATX form factor while previous Ocelot, Ocelot-C and Ocelot-G were CPCI. This is probably close to the board you are describing. Any board dependent changes should have been committed to linux-mips.org by now. --Brad -----Original Message----- From: linux-mips-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-mips-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Fredrik Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 5:56 PM To: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: kernel for custom MV64341 board? Howdy, I'm getting a custom board going: it sports an RM7000 and Marvell MV64341 system controller (alas, no external UART!). I've hacked U-Boot to the point where I can TFTP a kernel image and (start to) boot it. So far I've been using an old 2.4 kernel I used for some Ocelot-G work, just to get past the TFTP-load stage. MY QUESTION IS: What would be the best kernel version for me to now start customizing for my board? Is 2.6 too bleeding-edge, 2.4 too moldy, or what? Dealing with the MV64341 will be most of the effort, of course. The Ocelot boards seem well supported, but there looks to be a lot of code that would have to change (different system controller, different memory map--though I'm flexible--a lot of assumptions about the goodies available on-board, etc.). This is the first time I'll be porting the kernel, so it might be more productive for me to start from a minimalist configuration and add-in what I need. Enough code to set up the memory configuration would be a big help. Suggestions? /Fredrik +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Fredrik Noon, Senior Software Engineer | | Hifn, Inc. www.hifn.com | | fnoon@xxxxxxxx +1 408 399 3630 | |-------------------+--------------------------------------------| | pgp key: <http://noon.org/keys/pgpkey.txt> 7840AC55 | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
