MPC8260 - missing functions

From: Hans dot Feldt at uab.ericsson.se <hidden>

Could someone please briefly describe the status of the following
functions that all are included in the 860 port. I can't find them in a
patched 2.4.18 kernel.

- KGDB
- Watchdog
- IDE disk support
- ATM driver

I have read the 8260 comments in the archive from Jon Diekema ("Current
state of MPC8260 Linux") but that was 2,5 years ago. What has happened
since then?

I did a quick hack to get the watchdog working. I also ported the 8xx
KGDB stuff in uart.c but it fails badly with a "kernel stack overflow in
process c00d4420". That address is init_task_union. I am over my head
here so I leave this unless someone has a clue.


Regards,
Hans

Hans,

I am currently working on a port of a port of the 860esar atm driver for the
8260.  Once I am satisfied that it is working pretty well I will post the code
to the http://atm8260.sourceforge.net project.

If you want the code in the meantime, I can send it to you, but it might not
work.

Pete
