Hi Folks,

I started a couple of month ago to to work with OE and linux-2.6.27 
kernel from Matthieu (after successfully OE with the ts-kernel 2.6.21).

My first focus is on getting the SD card working, for now i managed to 
get it OK but with DMA disabled wich is useless... Anyway i plan to 
have this driver working soon with DMA.

Personally, i don't like so much how some ts kernel driver are 
designed (especially the ts-uart stuff and the ts-uart-8250), i 
started working on this as well. Not to mention the ts-bat3...

I made some work as well on integration of the TS-7XXX into OE 
(including using the ts-bat3 board with http://www.networkupstools.org).

As it seems some people on this list are interested in/ working on 
this as well, perhaps we could share our effort.

I am fully agree with the fact that we should commit all our patch OE 
upstream and don't keep a "fork" (like they do with gumstix). Ideally 
we could set-up a git branch to maintain the kernel and other 
ts-specific stuff.

I would even propose to set-up a specific mailing list for that 
purpose (kernel and oe devel), i see 2 reasons:
- keep the ts-7000 mailing list/group as a user community only (ie: 
don't mess-up the list with discussion about alpha/beta development stuff)
- switch to another mailing list provider, as yahoo group not being 
very friendly for oss development (that's my own opinion, i really 
dislike yahoo groups)

Cheers,
Chris.
