Hi, we're considering to update our linux userland and kernel repository. Currently we use a slightly adapted uClinux-dist-test-20080620 as a kernel and userland for our MCF5208 system. So now we want to update both to more recent versions. As there was a huge amount of work done by Greg, Geert merging m68nommmu and m68k i am unsure wether it is clever to stick with the kernel distributed in uClinux-dist-20101026 via Source Forge... I guess the userland from the current uClinux-dist release would be the best choice to use.
Where do the patches Greg and Geert create go? Are they in the official kernel or in Greg's fork? (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu.git) As I see the interface between the actual kernel and the uclinux-dist buildsystem seems to minimal, so basically moving the kernel to the right place will likely to do the trick, right? Which kernel should I use for a production system, either cutting edge with more features but risking problems or stick with an older release maybe still having unfixed bugs? Fixes that i've seen are for an example: - rework ColdFire cacheing code, Greg, November 11, 2010 - Wrong exception handling on m68knommu Coldfire 5208?, reported by Alexander Stein, October 7 2010 - Merge m68knommu and m68k - Coldfire QSPI platform support, Jate/Greg, July 2010 * - Coldfire QSPI platform support, Jate/Greg, September 2010 * - coldfire_qspi compile fix, Steven, April 24 2011 - etc. *) I'm not sure the marked fixed made into the 20101026 distro. Maybe you can help be out of the confusion. Anyways whatever kernel is used I will try making it work on our hardware therefore I will provide patches for QSPI, SST flashes and the MCF-I2C problems turn up. Thank you in advance!
