well it depends on what you do with the _probe()s. If you have multiple define_machine definitions built in, the generic probe will always succeed to match on the first machine probe_machine() tests, which may or may not be the machine it's currently running on.Which is an argument for _NOT_ doing a generic probe ! Ben.
correct, not doing a generic probe with a file per board (if all it has is the ppc_md/ define_machine() in it), is bad. It needs to be accompanied with its _probe(). Isn't that what the question was? Kim
