I'm told that the DA830 datasheet *will* be posted at TI website later this spring, available for download w/o any sort of NDA. > Now that's smething new... > > > Hope this helps. > > So, how should we reference to OMAP-L1x in kernel (in order to avoid the > confusion with real OMAP)? It's the strong preference from my group, Performance Media, that "da830" be *included* in the name. Maybe one could consider that a side benefit of such naming is easier distinction versus "real OMAP" (or maybe "original OMAP"). Moreover, many users of the chip will utilize the DSP-side audio code available for DA830, and so helping them readily identify the appropriate kernel is important to them & to us. This need can hopefully be addressed by inclusion of "da830_" prefix in the kernel name. -Lester _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
