Due to current activity on getting a 2.6 setup for TS72xx boards I'll relaunch 
an idea I posted last year. A 100% open source 2.6 system.

Would it worth collecting various efforts into producing a collective kernel 
toolchain and minimal root fs image that attempts to support (almost?) all 72xx 
variants? This could be added to files section of the list. 

It seems there are a lot of ppl duplicating the same efforts here.

Basic requirements seem to be :

recent 2.6 kernel (>=2.6.24 , suggest 2.6.29.1)
recent busybox (probably >=1.15)
minimal root fs with similar capabilities to stock TSlinux with mdev etc for 2.6
recent cross tool chain tarball (x86 and 64)

This would probably be most generally useful with oabi compat but easily duped 
pure eabi.

Probably a howto along the lines of what Charlie has posted 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/14699  but covering all the 
above.

My current reading seems to indicate that matt's patches now cover all NOR/NAND 
flash configurations on the various mutations of TS7200, how about native 
kernel support for SD? 

Maybe just a thorough howto with config files (crosstools-ng, busybox, kernel) 
would be sufficient/better.
