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

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".

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. I have a good start on the missing pieces and a test platform, is this contribution desired? - Steve Heflin New Age Micro CEO & Software Engineer At 11:55 AM 1/25/2008, you wrote: >Just a reminder that the plan is to remove arch/ppc this summer (June >2008).

I completely missed seeing the 2.6.24 kit, thank you so much!! FYI, 2.6.24 is considered fairly old relatively speaking. With so much activity going on for the embedded boards for arch/powerpc, you're sort of missing out if you aren't running from the latest git trees.
