Hello,
I am overhauling our development environment and would like to run Arch Linux on the Davinci chips so we can take advantage of the packages that are in the repository at archlinuxarm.org. We've been working with TI chips for many years
This requires that I can create a PKGBUILD linux package for the Davinci chips. Currently we use DMVA2, DM6446, DM6467 and DM816x. I was wondering where I can actually get a current git tree that would work on those targets and any patches need to target these chips. I saw the status of the mainlining of davinci chips to the linus git. Ideally I'd like to find the current development tree for davinci chips rather than take PSP snapshots.
I searched the forum and found some links that helped me out but this seems the best:
Now is it the best thing to take the git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-davinci.git tree and build a linux package from that?
How does TI feel about having Arch running on their chips? We would like to have a packaging infrastructure on our boards and Arch does this excellently and we can share packages with the community. We would then bundle up packages for installation via FW but development boards in company can just get our latest software from the repo. We would host our own private repos as well.
There seems to be so much spread out information about this in the TI wiki and forum that it makes it pretty hard to penetrate.
I hope the TI linux maintainers see this post or anyone else that works in this area!
Matt
EDIT: After checking the kernel public git repos that linux-davinci branch has gone. what should I be using?
EDIT: Aha, http://gitorious.org/linux-davinci
