Hi, I have been working on the MontaVista 2_4_2 STB3xxx kernel (the 'official' kernel for the board). I have, however, recently downloaded the 2_4_devel kernel. This appears to now have quite mature support for the STB3xxx (aka Redwood-4) and the Oak board (403GCX). I downloaded the 2_4_devel kernel a few months ago, and it then certainly didn't work on the STB3xxx.
I am now left wondering whether it may be better to move over to the 2_4_devel kernel for the STB3xxxx and for further kernel work I need to do for different 4xx chips. I have specifically the following questions: 1. Does the 2_4_devel kernel work on the STB3xxx? 2. Does the 2_4_devel kernel work on the 403GCX (Oak)? Obviously, you may wonder, why don't I simply compile it and test. However, I need to alter the 2_4_devel kernel to run on our STB3xxxx boards (specifically the bootloader, as the treeboot loader cannot be used). Being very pushed for time (I need to get a new kernel working in < 3 weeks), I cannot afford to alter the 2_4_devel kernel in the hope it will work. The 2_4_2 MontaVista kernel has the advantage that I'm very familiar with the low-level 4xx stuff, the 2_4_devel is an unknown. However, the 2_4_devel kernel certainly seems more mature in respect to the cleaner integration of 405/403 implementation differences. Thanks for any advice.
