The changes required for this to work are rather trivial, and you should be able to use the code needed for the Motorola LoPEC as a starting point of what you need to do (arch/ppc/config.in, arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile and arch/ppc/platforms/prpmc800_setup.c I imagine). Patches would be appreciated. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
