Hmm, the kernel that we're using is the latest dm355 supported kernel from montavista as of April 2008 and I have no drivers/rtc directory tree whatsoever. Maybe the kernel that has the driver/rtc model is actually the TI version? I know there has been some disconnect in the past between those two snapshots which was one of the points that TI/Montavista were trying to address. I guess I should go ahead and just make due with an intermediate driver that isn't the 'right' way until things get a little more mainstream with the montavista supported kernel. Thanks for the help, it's truly appreciated.

Just that I've seen video input and DSP bridge patches getting nearly mergeable, so that ancient -- or more to the point, non-mainline -- kernels should stop being the only option for folk who need their DaVinci systems to do Real Work (video processing). Of course, I'm told there are "supported" kernels more recent than 2.6.10 (which shipped late 2004) too. If it shipped after much mid-2006, it should have some version of the RTC framework ... and lots of other bits that have improved since 2.6.10 shipped. - Dave _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
