I haven't played with embedded linux for sometime now but am lucky
enough to be starting a project that will use linux on an 8260
processor. Where can I get kernel source with drivers for this
processor ? Are they integrated into the main kernel source or is it
seperated ?
What about support for the 860 ? Is the 860 code integrated to the main
kernel ?
Is there a CVS repository for Linux kernels with embedded procoessor
support ?
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

The 8xx and 8260 (among lots of others) are a standard part of the
sources at kernel.org.

The bleeding edge stuff is on fsmlabs.com, in BitKeeper.
Does this include support for *all* the embedded boards ?
It's generally easier to modify a board that is similar to ours, then try to
do the whole thing from scratch (and usually in a different way). I'll check
out fsmlabs.com. Thanks.
Last time I looked at this stuff (linux-2.2.13 I think) there was only support
for the MBX board in the official linux kernels.
The other embedded boards (BSEIP, RPX, etc) were maintained elsewhere. I'm
not even sure if they were available via CVS but they were via tar.gz files on
ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

All this stuff has been superceeded by the Montavista 1.2 CDK, which you can
get via ftp from ftp.mvista.com. If you want the bleeding edge stuff, see:
