I can clearly see the manufactor of that device and it is sorted by architecture - cpu - vendor - name, so all olimex devies would be together (when alphabetically sorted). I think most people know the olimex devices like the olinuxino, but what about the olimex A20 som for example (which hasn´t a dts yet). What should be the name of that? sun7i-a20-a20som isn´t very informative. It´s not an Olinuxino device (Olimex said that these are always OSHW) so the best solution would be to call it sun7i-a20-olimex-a20som, which would be consistent to the naming scheme.
And sorry for asking a maybe dumb question: but is it planned to keep all DTS files for ARM in one directory? At the moment there are about 1.006 DTS files in that directory. Github truncates at 1.000 and if every device get it´s DTS this will be huge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
