nSec timer resolutions is not in the ep93xx vanilla kernel, nor even the rt 
patch any more.  It disappeared from the rt patch around 2.6.24; apparently 
nobody noticed, and it hasn't been put back (yet).  Forward porting the ep93xx 
HRT patch would be a nice starter project, if you are looking for one.

building a kernel from scratch and I downloaded what appears to be a 2.6.29 
kernel tarball from the 7260 subdirectory on the TS website.  But I've never 
built a kernel before let alone one that is tailored to the SBC.  I fired up 
menuconfig and there are more options than a Chinese restaurant menu (or 
perhaps a really great NY deli).  So, does anyone have a config file or list of 
options that are required to build a kernel for TS boards?  Perhaps a list of 
stuff you should never attempt to use would be good too.

Two suggestions: get the 2.6.21-TS (?) kernel source file, and look at the 
configs in there.  Then get a vanilla 2.6.29.1 kernel and Matthieu Crapet's 
patch set (mcrapet.free.fr) and look at the default configs in there (the 
patchset, I mean).

OK, three suggestions:  When in menuconfig, use the slash key to do a keyword 
search, and use the '?' key for help on the particular config option you are 
viewing.
