Re: [linuxsh-dev] Patch: Boot time configuration of SCI(F) and Overdrive support

[NIIBE Y. <gn...@ch...>]

Ouch.  I miss you Pierre.  I'm sorry that I couldn't include your
changes yet.  I'm sure that your idea will goes into the kernel
eventually.  I don't know if we can support SH7707 or not, though.

If you have comments about idea below, please let us know.

Upon your suggestion of building all of the things into one image,
I've been thinking like that:

   (1) Keep the kernel as portable if possible
       (not include BSC setting and so)

   (2) Place the hardware specific initialization
       under arch/sh/boot/machine/

   (3) Offer some script generating image (say, S-record or bare binary)
       from vmlinux and the hardware specific initialization

   (4) If needed, develop some tool writing Flash-ROM
       (for specific hardware: CqREEK SH4 or APSH4)
