This is a good forum to ask AM1x kernel questions. There are other AMx devices like AM37x which are "omap" devices. Kernel questions for those devices can be posted to [email protected]. Which list to use depends on whether the device is supported under mach-davinci or mach-omap2. > We are starting to design a controller based on an AM1808 (or maybe an > upcoming AM 335x) chip. > > Right now, we just have a Development kit (by Logic PD) that features an > OMAP 138 Chip (that is pin-compatible with the AM1808 but additionally > has a DSP) > > We started playing with this kit and now I have several questions that > you might be able to answer. > > > > The board came with a "Angstrom" Linux distribution. > > (Question 1) Can you give us a hint, whether it's a good idea to use > Angstrom for an embedded controller or do you favor other distributions > (binary and/or cross compilable-source-code) This is not a good forum to ask Linux distribution questions. Those questions are better asked on the e2e.ti.com "Embedded Software" forum or on the arago support lists: http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Q:_Is_there_a_mailing_list_or_IRC_channel.3F I have skipped your other Ansgtrom related questions. > > We want to use I²S audio output.

Please see here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_Building_Software_Components_for_OMAP-L1#Graphical_LCD In general, please use this page as a starting point for kernel related information on OMAP-L138: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Community_Linux_PSP_for_DA8x/OMAP-L1/AM1x Thanks, Sekhar _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
