Hello everybody,
We designed one custom board with TI's OMAP processor similar to beagleboard. we registered our board and got Machine ID, even i gave wrong machine ID (i.e., i tried different .dts accidentally IDs are different in each case), my kernel is booting. In .dts, i made this entry model = "CDAC OMAP3 WINGZ board"; compatible = "CDAC,omap3-wingz", "ti,omap3"; I didn't do any changes to the kernel with compatible entry for "CDAC, omap3-wingz", but still kernel is booting without any problem. What my question is 1. Is it really required to pass Machine ID as a parameter to the linux kernel while booting ? 2. How the kernel is booting even i gave "compatible" field which is not at all available as an entry in linux kernel? Is only device tree is sufficient to boot the kernel on ARM boards?
