Indeed. And thanks for digging into this more, that's the leg work that I was starting for 1.5, and now it is largely done. Having a new h/w reference for MIPS has been near the top of the list for some time. Bruce rday ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
