[Gumstix-users] latest patches: 2.6.6-rc3-gnalm2-gum0

[Zach W. <zw...@su...>]

Hello everybody,

I have just posted my latest kernel patches for the gumstix platform,
which include the latest updates from Gordon's patch as well as several
other fixes and improvements.

As has become my modus operandi, there is also a fresh uImage for those
of you who are just looking for a quickie:

This fixes the HWUART, the MMC driver, the I2C build option (with thanks
to Kevin Hester), and brings a wealth of other minor improvements.
Though I wanted to get something out today, I'd hoped that 2.6.6 would
have gone final. Once it does become available, I will generate a new
set of patches against that official release tree.

In addition, I have also managed to talk the maintainer of the official
openembedded.bkbits.net BK trees, Chris "Kergoth" Larson, to add
support for my Gumstix patches. As such, you will find that their build
system can now automatically create current gumstix kernels. I also
talked him into purchasing a 'stik sooner rather than later (putting
another notch in my Salestik?). For more information, visit:

Chris is now also frequenting the #gumstix IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net, and I am quite excited to have gotten him involved in
the community. Together, I expect us to be able to eventually forge a 
nice set of HOWTOs for both creating new rootfs with those tools and 
then flashing them onto the 'stix.

Unfortunately, there are other matters occupying my mind of late; I will
follow this message shortly with an introduction to those issues.

Cheers,

Zach Welch
