Hi,
I m working on the Encore M3 board that has the AU1500 MIPS processor on
it. I aim to port the 2.6 linux kernel to the board which is already
supported in the 2.4 kernel.
The start_kernel function in linux/init/main.c file, calls a function
calibrate_delay found in the arch/frv/kernel/setup.c file. Why does the
kernel call this function which is a part of the Fujitsu FR-V
architecture?
When I build the image, this is the point where the kernel is stuck and
the last contents of the log buffer show the following printk message
from the calibrate_delay function:
Calibrating delay loop...
Thanks,
Ashlesha.
start_kernel() calls calibrate_delay() which can be found in
init/calibrate.c
thanks,
