Yes I am aware that 2.2.1 is quite old, however I was under the impression
that it was the only kernel that was successfully ported to the EP721X
processor (ie the 720T core). What I was expecting to have to do was first
get the Cirrus 2.2.1 kernel port up on the devel board (to verify the
cross devel tools were working), then pain stakingly patch that kernel to
2.2.16, and perhaps beyond.

Is Russell's development also applicable to the EP721X processors? If so
is anyone out there using this combination of kernel and processor? This
would be GREAT news! Even if it applies to the 720T then it should be
possible to port the serial, etc drivers and other EP721X-specific code to
Russell's development kernel. Anyone out there aware of the status of his
kernel and the EP721X processors and/or 720T???

Thanks,

- Rod
