It's great to see the custodian of the architecture focusing on getting the Ingenic SoCs fully supported in the mainline kernel.

I see that there's support for jz4770/jz4775, too.

Other people will know more about the differences than I do, but we have struggled to find sufficiently informative documentation for the jz4730, having to deduce the details from Ingenic's "code drops" for ancient kernels. It would certainly be nice to have more than just the datasheet to work from, if there is anything else that could be released. Paul P.S. I seem to continually struggle with cloning things over HTTP and from GitHub: $ git clone https://github.com/paulburton/linux.git paulburton-linux Cloning into 'paulburton-linux'... remote: Counting objects: 4144783, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (230/230), done. remote: Total 4144783 (delta 174), reused 32 (delta 32), pack-reused 4144521 Receiving objects: 100% (4144783/4144783), 962.17 MiB | 1.53 MiB/s, done. fatal: pack is corrupted (SHA1 mismatch) fatal: index-pack failed Suggestions for this are welcome. (I never had such pathological cloning issues with Mercurial from any repository provider, and it's all starting to get rather annoying.) _______________________________________________ Mipsbook-devel mailing list Mipsbook-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mipsbook-devel
