I'm actually working on it. If I didn't send Russell anything yet that's
because I don't consider the patch ready yet.
Since Brutus is the reference implementation for the SA1100, I consider
that it needs a working console i.e. keyboard and frame buffer driver
before it is merged in. And again, since I'm blind or visually impaired
or whatever... I can't do it (or don't want to do it) by myself. So if
anybody interested to do it please step on it. My 2.0.35 had suport for
it so it needs forward porting.
Regarding the SA1100 core patch, I'm working on improving the cache
support and cleaning up everything else. I also volunteer to merge any
patch I receive. I currently merged the empeg stuff from Hugo and the
latest Brutus sound driver from Carl (Itsy team). I also maintain the
SA1100 Victor implementation as this is what my day job is about. Anybody
out there?
I will release another patch against 2.2.2 soon but still not for Russell
to merge it yet. In the mean time one can easily apply my 2.2.1-rmk3
patch over a 2.2.2 tree with very few rejects.
To anyone interested into Linux/SA1100 development I suggest subscribing
to the sa1100-linux mailing list through [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most
SA1100 developers I know about are subscribed there. This is probably the
best place to ask for any SA1100+Linux questions.
