reading http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort " Merged into 3.19 □ USB phy driver support for usb0 " i think usb kernel support is missing in 3.16 or do i misunderstand/is there a backport, too? >> That would be really great (somehow didn't expect that, but I didn't >> look at the diff from 3.16).

On the other hand maybe flash-kernel is supposed to also handle u-boot updates (didn't even know this exists)? -- Prisirah - Building digital photo frames for family and friends using open-source hardware. http://karme.de/prisirah/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
