Re: PPC vs POWERPC

Is there any more information on how the "of_*" ( e.g. of_node_put ,  
of_find_node_by_type ) functions should be implemented in  the 
"arch/powerpc/platforms/myplatform/myboard_setup.c" file
or is the documentation the existing "*.c" c files under 
arch/powerpc/platforms ?

Since I have a 82xx board I assume that "myboard_setup.c" file shall be 
put under arch/powerpc/platforms/82xx.

Hi,
I want to port a board ( WRS SBC8265 ) from the PPC branch to the POWERPC
branch in the Linux Kernel -- do you have any good starting points that
describes what I need to pay attention to?

I've already made a port of U-boot-1.3.1 and enabled CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT.

So I need to create a DTS file, compile it with the DTC compiler and port
the current PPC branch to the POWERPC branch to my understanding.
    

Yes, you're exactly right.  Use one of the dts files in
arch/powerpc/boot/dts as a starting point and read
Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt to find out what is
expected in the device tree.

Cheers,
