Hello. I want to make some fixups to the marvell hostbridge and mpsc code and would like to test them on a PrPmc280/2800. The problem is, I don't have one anymore.Hi Mark,
Hi Paul.
Is there another platform that uses mpsc that can be used for testing? I ask because I did spend a lot of time with PrPMC-280 and motload/powerboot; some standalone, some on ATCA-F101. And with that hindsight, I can't help thinking that the right thing to do some eight years later is to simply consider removing the support for these old platforms. Would that make your validation easier? If so, then I'd recommend it. This is of course, just my opinion.
Hmm, yeah, the c2k platform uses that bridge too. I'll see if I can find someone with one of those handy. Since nobody seems to have a prmpc280/2800 anymore, it does seem prudent to remove it. It would make validation easier for me in that its one less platform to worry about breaking. If I don't hear anything in the next few days, I'll make a patches to remove prpmc280/2800 support. Thanks, Mark --
