I'm building my own Xenomai patched kernels already, so I'm not too worried about this getting pulled upstream. It's just a collection of device-tree entries that don't really need to be in the mainline kernel anyway. It's sort of a "tinkerer's" took-kit, if you will, and might be helpful in bringing up a new board but probably shouldn't be in the "official" kernel. That said, having a somewhat thought out namespace and usage convention could help make the idea more useful to others, and maybe some _has_ done something similar already. I'll craft up a bit of an RFC and see what the folks over on the OMAP list think. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
