The only thing I don't really like with the openmoko-kernel at least, is that they've jammed board info into /proc/cpuinfo instead of /proc/SBC/info. e.g. $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n 3 Hardware : GTA02 Revision : 0350 Serial : 0000000000000000 Personally, I think that belongs in /proc/SBC/info, so that's the only patch that I would make, although it would probably make some waves in the rest of the openmoko community/stack. > I'm not sure why you would have to provide any toolchain patches. Cool - I just remember how difficult it was to get the ep93xx / maverick fpu working. The FreeRunner has no dedicated on-or-off-chip FPU so softfloat it is. Although I'm sure that if the SMedia 3362 driver source code was available, that the graphics processor could double as an FPU. That would definitely require some toolchain hacking - so maaaaybe I'll forget about it ... for now. > armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi Good to go Chris
