1. You should send some kernel mode TDM clients. Without those the framewor=
k
   is pretty useless.
[Sandeep] We do have a test client but not good enough to be pushed in open=
 source, should we add it to documentation??=20

2. It would probably make sense to Cc: netdev and serial. There may be
   some kernel client network integration from the start.
[Sandeep] Ok.=20

3. Where is the userspace configuration interface ?
[Sandeep] TDM framework right now supports only kernel mode clients. It has=
 been tested with the client module that I mentioned above. Both the framew=
ork and test client are a part of Freescale BSP.

[Sandeep] Please try below mentioned link. The above one is Freescale's int=
ernal mirror of:

$ git clone git://git.am.freescale.net/gitolite/mirrors/galak-powerpc.git
