Happy to announce basic working port of barebox bootloader for mini2440 development board.

Patch was sent today to barebox mailing list:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/barebox/2010-October/001881.html

There is working serial console, NAND flash is probed correctly and network controller (DM9000) also.

One restriction : don’t try to load it to NAND flash because lowlevel init isn’t done yet.

Last week  (22.10.2010) I’ve post first patches to Greg K-Hartman for flarion ft1000 usb and pcmcia drivers.Patch can be found here:

It is always best choise to maintain drivers in main tree not out of tree (api changes from kernel versions ….). Hopefully after drivers cleanup they appear in main tree and users can use it without additional hacking.

My old HP Pavillion dv 4000 passed away so I decide to buy new notebook for working. I decide to buy not very expensive one.

My criteria was enough RAM (at least 3G) and dual core to compile kernel in normal times (below 10m ). Read the rest of this entry »
