Re: Looking for ARM SoC porting guidelines

Hi Luca,

I need to get back to the project.  I got pulled away from the project during the holidays and haven't had the time to make progress since that time due to family and work obligations.

I'm currently working on getting a client to help pay for my time working on this project.  If successful, that will help get things moving much, much faster.  Crossing my fingers that they go for it.

At least now I have both N32905 and N32926 development boards so I can try to get a modern kernel for both versions of the SoC.

I'm still waiting for my N32926 hardware to arrive to begin a port for
it.  Given the work I've done with the N32905 and the similarity between
the two chips at the basic level, I don't anticipate it taking more than
a few days to get it going.  I'll post back here when I have something
to try.  At a minimum it would include the clock framework, clock
source, interrupt driver, UART driver and other basic stuff.

    Oh, and... any plans for supporting the H.264 decoder on the N32926?

Well, for now I'm working on the basics and the first tier of drivers to
the system so it can boot from NOR/NAND flash, SD cards and have basic
USB connectivity. I already have these items on the N32905.  I don't
have any specific plans beyond that for the N32926, but we'll see. My
specific interest is in the lower-end N32905 because of the opportunity
for the chip in the toy markets and a $3 Linux capable single chip
system is really cool :-).

Any news on your project? There seem to be no more commits since several
weeks on your github repository...
