I'm not the maintainer of flash-kernel anymore and haven't followed DT in detail so maybe this question is stupid... but: where does the DT blob come from? Shouldn't flash-kernel embed that into the kernel image, or do you require a DT compatible u-boot which will pass the DT to the kernel directly? I guess you're using a DT compatible u-boot and I think on the DreamPlug it's fair enough to require users to upgrade to such a u-boot. (I have other devices in mind that don't ship with a DT u-boot and where you cannot easily upgrade u-boot; in those cases flash-kernel will have to embed the DT blob into the kernel image or something.) Also, does it really say "Machine: Marvell Kirkwood (Flattened Device Tree)"? Is there no way to set the Machine info in /proc/cpuinfo to something more useful with the use of DT? In any case, thanks or working on DreamPlug support! P.S. your git patch contains your company address but I guess this wasn't done on company time. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
