Salut Matthieu! ;),

I've just tested your kernel patch, and i have to say that it works 
very well (tested on ts-7260), I like the LED heart beat and the LCD 
console!. For the distro i used angstrom 2008.1 from their dev branch, 
there was some support for the ts72xx boards before, but it seems to 
be broken now. So what i did is replace their set of kernel patch with 
your one (default kernel is 2.6.24).
Actually, it would be very nice to commit your patch to 
openembedded/angstrom. The only thing that hurt is that your patch is 
monolithic, and i'm pretty sure that they will refuse to integrate 
such a patch, it's likely they will ask to put it into pieces and 
separate EP stuff from TS stuff as well. You can look at their current 
list of patch at 
http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=tree;f=packages/linux/linux-2.6.24/ts72xx;h=df31aaafc1995cda7802175684b0a3174fd97ca2;hb=HEAD
Could be very nice to add the TS-72XX on their list of "officially 
supproted machine".

Anyway if you are interested to go forward on this, just let me know, 
and i can give you a hand.

I'm as well interested to have support (in the form of i-packages) for 
their other peripheral board (ts-ser4, ts-gsm1, ts-relay1, ts-adc16 
and ts-bat3), as well of course, with support SD card. (I managed to 
successfully build a 2.6.21-ts kernel with built-in support for 
SD-card using their proprietary bulb (so no need for intermediate 
ramdisk).

Regards,
Christian.
