LINUXEZSDK-AM335X v08.00 Board Port

Hi,

What's the status for updating the board port projects in git://gitorious.org/sitara-board-port/ for SDK v08.00? Our strategy for porting SDK v06.00 to our custom board is to start with the template and only add the few changes we need to support our specific NAND and limited peripheral set.

Also, is there any plan to update the wiki and training labs for SDK v08.00?

Thanks!

Phillip

    Hi Philip,

    The git://gitorious.org/sitara-board-port/ is a community project, so we have no information when and if this project will be updated for the latest Sitara SDK 8.0. For this information, it would be best to write directly to the contributors in gitorious.

    As for your second question "is there any plan to update the wiki and training labs for SDK v08.00?" :
    Most of the wiki articles are already updated for sitara SDK8.0, see processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Sitara_Linux_Software_Developer%E2%80%99s_Guide

    Best Regards
    Yordan

    sitara-board-port is indeed maintained by TI Sitara applications engineers. The latest update they've made is for SDK 7.0, which actually should be pretty close to what you need (or at least much closer than the SDK 6.0 version).

    Here is a branch for SDK 7.0 that should be very useful to you. SDK 7.0 moved to device tree and away from board files (like those used in SDK 6.0 and before), and SDK 8.0 is also device tree based. There probably are some differences because drivers changed a bit from 3.12 kernel in SDK 7.0 to 3.14 kernel in 8.00, but it should still be helpful to you.

    Thanks! Really wish there was a better response from TI for porting SDK 8.0. Hard to have any confidence we could use the SDK 7.0 board port template tag as a reference to strip out all the am335x_evm & BBB specific functionality that we don't use from the SDK 8.0 source. I get that DTS is supposed to make the kernel ports easier but there's still u-boot and the necessity to build the DTS, right?
