Hi!

Here is a periodic status update on the ongoing ep93xx 2.6
rewrite/merge work.

As you might or might not know, me and a couple of other folks have been
working on reworking/rewriting the existing ep93xx 2.6 patches with the
goal of getting them merged upstream as soon as possible.  We maintain
our quilt patch series in a publicly accessible subversion repository at
http://svn.wantstofly.org/ep93xx/ and we publish periodic snapshots at
http://www.wantstofly.org/~buytenh/ep93xx/

In our latest patch (derevo16) against 2.6.16-rc5, there is support for:
- base ep93xx support, interrupts, timers, debug serial
- MaverickCrunch
- serial port (/dev/ttyAMx) support
- NOR flash on ts-7200 and NAND flash on other ts-7000 models
- USB host
- GPIO, and GPIO interrupt support for EGPIO0-15
- ep93xx built-in watchdog
- ethernet
- ep93xx built-in RTC, and TS-5620 external RTC

Furthermore, there are people working on:
- CompactFlash on the ts-7200
- CPLD watchdog on the ts-7000

We do not yet support/have no plans so far to support:
- RS-485

When the 2.6.17 tree opens, we expect to be able to get the base
ep93xx support, MaverickCrunch, ep93xx serial port (after rewriting),
ts-7000 NOR/NAND flash, USB host, GPIO and ep93xx built-in watchdog
support merged.

The ethernet driver in our tree is the Cirrus one and needs to be
rewritten before it can be merged.  The RTC bits use and depend on
Alessandro Zummo's rtc class rewrite and I'm not sure whether that
will be merged in the 2.6.17 timeframe or not.

Questions? :-)


cheers,
Lennert
