No; the stuff in 2.6 is not integrated w/ platform studio. (only 2.4 is). However, you do need to extract the xparameters.h file from the platform studio BSP. You can generate a Linux BSP w/o actually telling it where your Linux tree is. Once its generated; pull out xparameters.h and drop it into arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xparameters/ in your source tree. Note: it's important that you generate a LINUX BSP; not a 'standalone' bsp. If you don't, then you'll be missing a bunch of #defines. Let me say that once more for clarity: The only file you need from platform studio is the generated xparameters.h This will give you at the very least a serial port driver. Once your booting with that, you can focus on other device drivers. Trust me; this is the path of far less pain. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc. P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd. (403) 399-0195
