Sort of. To do a new board port in 2.4.9 (in linuxppc_2_4_devel), you only need to edit arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile, arch/ppc/boot/Makefile and possibly include/asm-ppc/serial.h. And arch/ppc/config.in too, of course. No more new _MACH_xxx's, there's now ppc_md.setup_io_mappings (or so), to do what used to be done in MMU_init and case'ing of the _MACH. > And what would be the best 2.4.9 to start out with ? 2_4_devel, http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml > Any written policy on the setup of the machine dependant stuff ? Nope. Follow the examples. > Any way of getting my board defs into the official (?) PPC source tree ? If you submit them. Here, linuxppc-dev and linuxppc-commit at source.mvista.com are all good places to try. The -dev list more so. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
