AM3517 EVM and newer Kernel plus Realtime Extensions

The proper list would be linux-omap@vger.kernel.org. I had 3.3 running but with the latest commits it is broken again. The whole stuff is very unstable for now, but you're welcome to ask questions and send patches there:http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git;a=summary

do you have a repo i can clone, with a working 3.3?

that might suit my immediate need.

I've posted the address of the linux-omap repo in my previous post. Checkout rc about the following date:  6 Feb 2012

Apply these patches:

Let me know if you could boot your board

well I am getting closer...

I still have

and dhcp requests are timing out.

I think I know what I need to do to get the MAC address for the davinci_emac, but i have an old kernel that had no problem dhcp ing and doing nfsroot with a random MAC address.

What commit have you checked out?

What toolchain are you using?

I also had such run-time errors. But as long as system is booting, it's O.K.

I read MAC addr from I2C EEPROM

I just tried it with the latest 

commit 85244e0edd240da2004bb2ab7cbcbc67a336f20d

and I am also trying it with the stable branch linux-3.2.y from git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

because that is what I think will be easiest to add the preempt-rt patchset.

still no luck with either.

Hi,

Can you please give me the git  commands to clone the full AM3517 linux 3.2 kernel form repository.

 im new for git too, so please guide to have linux kernel 3.2  on my EVM .

Thanks,
