3) Add device tree source for Wind River SBC8560 board This is probably the most interesting part of the group, given that the board doesn't use the CPM2 to provide the serial console. I've made a duart dts entry that is kind of similar to what is done for the tsi108 on the mpc7448/hpc-ii board, and made sure that the serial had their parent marked as "soc" (found out the hard way that UARTs were ignored as possible consoles unless they were soc or tsi108 children...) b/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/sbc8560.dts | 203 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++-
we need to figure out to fix this so we don't need the parent marked as 'soc'. Out of interest how exactly are the duart's wired on the 8560. Are they off localbus?
I'd quickly spun together a u-boot 1.2.0 for testing this -- since that was the quickest route to getting a powerpc capable version. I'll see what can be done for getting a u-boot 1.3.1 patchset out so the local-mac- address vs address thing in the dtb isn't an issue.
Probably should add a boot wrapper to work with old non-device tree aware u-boots. - k
