More or less. Improving the abstraction layer is a continued focus of development efforts. > And what would be the best 2.4.9 to start out with ? linuxppc_2_4_devel is the only sane place to develop new board ports. See the thread, "PPC bk repos reorg" in the linuxppc-commit archives for information on getting a copy of the tree. Go to bitkeeper.com to get a copy of BK for your system. > Any written policy on the setup of the machine dependant stuff ? No. Subscribe to the linuxppc-commit list and read the back archives to see discussion of how we do things. http://source.mvista.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-commit Read the source and follow one of the many examples (K2, Spruce, etc.) > Any way of getting my board defs into the official (?) PPC source tree ? When you have _clean_ patches versus linuxppc_2_4_devel, post them publicly. -- Matt Porter MontaVista Software, Inc. mporter at home.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
