Hi All,

Linus Torvalds added a lot of source code again today. Therefore I compiled a new test version for our AmigaONE X1000.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-alpha2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Unfortunately the size of our Nemo patch increased a bit because of the code changes in the interrupt system.

Many many thanks!

Could you please test the alpha5 too? The kernel developers added the DRM fbdev emulation as default. I don't know if it works with every Radeon HD graphics card.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-alpha5-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Thank you in advance.

New Nemo patch for the alpha5: nemo_4.3-4.patch

Today I released the alpha6.

New:

Linux git log

It also includes:

The alpha6 kernel for P.A. Semi Electra and Chitra boards

Hi All,

I released the alpha7 for our motherboards with P.A. Semi PA6T-1682M microprocessors for testing. Linus Torvalds added a lot of source code last night.

New: Linux git log

Download: vmlinux-4.3-alpha7-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Further information about motherboards with P.A. Semi PA6T-1682M microprocessors:

* Electra: First development/eval board. Funky USB on localbus, plenty
of PCI-e. Two GigE, one 10GigE XAUI. CompactFlash and IDE on localbus
too. Usually shipped with a PCI-e SATA card and a USB card.

* Chitra: Second edition dev/eval board. Moved SATA and USB on-board,
and removed some of the localbus hardware. Might have routed three
GigE out instead of 2.

* Athena: Never released board with a smaller package chip, there's
only a few of these around. It's similar to Chitra, and the silicon is the same.

* Nemo: Released as AmigaONE X1000. With co-processor: "Xena" 500 MHz XCore XS1-L2 124 SDS
and SB600 southbridge.



Cheers,

Christian

Quote:

On the filesystem side, the bulk of the changes (in lines of code) is the removal of the ext3 filesystem (with ext4 remaining to support ext3 layouts - but the separate ext3 codebase is gone).

I can confirm, that the ext4 driver works with my openSUSE 11.1 ext3 partition.



PLEASE test the RC1.
