Re: Reminder: removal of arch/ppc - (Sequoia)
The Sequoia board (AMCC-440EPx processor) is missing from the new arch/powerpc. The Sequoia board is also missing from arch/ppc , but there is support for integrated devices on the AMCC part inside arch/ppc that needs to be incorporated into arch/powerpc. In addition, there needs to be a sequoia.c file added to the arch/powerpc/44x directory.

Re: Reminder: removal of arch/ppc
Hm. Katmai is already in-tree. Theoretically I should be able to get the HW docs and do a new DTS and have it mostly just work. Perhaps I'll give that a shot and have you give it a quick spin. Yep, should be pretty easy. A while back I built a Katmai kernel in arch/ppc based on the Yucca support and the differences were pretty trivial -- as I recall, the Katmai has compact flash support that the Yucca doesn't have, and the Yucca has a simple little FPGA with a few registers that controls power to the PCI slots. - R. ___ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
