Sorry but OLPC never progressed beyond shipping 3.0 on this hardware, and low-level development only really happens in maintenance mode at the moment. We did almost get a newer version working, but it had some unresolved issues that prevented us from shipping it to users. I'm not sure of the state of that arm-3.6 branch you are trying but I don't see anything wrong in your process. I would try early printascii() calls and a serial cable next. Mainline won't run on the machine in any kind of usable state without quite a bit of work on drivers and DT (which comes from the firmware). I did once start on that but didn't manage to get even the initial easy patches past the Marvell maintainers :( Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
