In my application I will need all of them. :) I haven't reviewed the NAND and VPBE/VPFE drivers at all yet; do you think that porting them would be particularly difficult? Are there some specific issues that obstacle the porting, or it is just because nobody needed them yet? > I'm curious what features are missing that prevent you > from doing work > on the experimental branch? I think it's more an impression rather than a true need, it's the warm feeling of being supported. :) If I have a problem with the official tree (not just a missing feature, also a bug or something I don't understand), I can ask directly to TI/Montavista; of course they have the freedom of not giving a rat's ass to my question, but at least I can rant and complaint with someone and still expect an answer. :) With the git tree, as you have said, I can just beg/ask for help and hope. > > P.S.

Even if the git tree isn't maintained by TI, I think it would be advisable if some folk from TI would pop up sometimes in this mailing list. After all, there are also a lot of questions about the DVEVM and the DVSDK not particularly related to the git kernel, and anyway TI should be eager to support its customers, no matter which kernel they are using.
