[opensuse-kernel] [PATCH] Add support for ST-Ericsson U8500 NovaThor
Attached patch provides support for ST-Ericsson's U8500 NovaThor as found in the Snowball board. It compiles and builds fine, but I have yet to run it (awaiting receipt of board). Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F

Cool, thanks! Would you mind to hold this off until you were actually able to execute test it? I don't want to clutter our kernel configs with builds that we can't guarantee to actually work.

Sure, I'll let you know once I have executed it on real hardware. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Are you sure about NovaThor U8500? The Calao webpages I've recently seen said Nova A9500 for the Snowball.

It should also be compatible to U9500. From the kernel's KConfig: config ARCH_U8500 bool "ST-Ericsson U8500 Series" select CPU_V7 select ARM_AMBA select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS select CLKDEV_LOOKUP select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB select ARCH_HAS_CPUFREQ help Support for ST-Ericsson's Ux500 architecture Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

After confirming with someone from ST-Ericsson U* means 'with modem', A* is just the application processor (AP). The name NovaThor effectively means Application processor paired with a modem; Nova = Application processor, Thor = modem. (Not trying to be smart, just passing the info I received on). The NovaThor in the Snowball is indeed a 9500 but the 8500/9500 use the same configs (similar to the OMAP2plus which covers OMAP2,3,4) Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
