HI Caglar one more thing I have time to work in hawkboard support for mainline. Do you have any patch already for hawkboard runing ? if yes Tell me which one and i start to work in other one based on your patches, this is in order to avoid the double work if not I can do it and send the patches as soon as possible and you start to work in other ones if you want to work on them tell me how much time it will take to you and i will start to work on another things Tell me what do you think about it I am most interest that exist a support for hawk board in main line, but we need to hurry Best regards Victor Rodriguez _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
