Hi Robert,
thanks for this excellent community and all the help we received so far,
So does this mean you've managed to get Linux up and running, no memory issues, etc? Congratulations!
Cheers, Dave
Hey thanks, what a long strange trip its been ;-) .
For the memory issues, we found a memory chip (Micro 533MHZ) that works 95% of the time, and the hardware guys are working with Freescale support for our second revision, and in fact have already improved things considerably on other chips. That's good enough to continue the project ;-) .
The PCI issues were resolved also by hardware, via using "Asynchronous mode" instead of "Synchronous mode", thereby routing CLKOUT to PCI1_CLK. See the "4.4.3.17 PCI Clock Selection" section if interested.
So the latest 2.6.24RCx kernel's now booting, and all that's left is a few driver issues. That and submitting patches ;-) .
Cheers, Robert
