This would be very nice :-) , but I don't think is doable. Short story: We are using linux 2.4.18 on SH4 architecture. Very specific H/W and very different from PC. Linux is used as configuration manager and user interface (web). All linux drivers are simple char drivers - mainly to get access to FPGA and DSP. Most of them provide a "mmap" interface to user applications. The original port was done by Montavista. They should have made it public years ago. We are looking what would cost to migrate to 2.6. Boss asked for an effort estimation and I had to start from some point. The pointer I got from Arun cleared the way for me to get some numbers. Most of the migration cost is not in driver port but in how we are going to handle a mixed installed base. Related the the "Linux Driver Project". This is a very nice and generous idea ! Not for us - unfortunately. Our work is driven by a schedule. Very tight! We do not have spare H/W and we are not so rich to pay a person to do interface work. It is cheaper to do the work by ourselves and we need to learn to be able to maintain/modify/enhance. For cases like ours would be very, very useful if you, guys would update and print LDD V4. I can guarantee we will buy at least five copies.
