Yes, and I believe someone was raising a card to get it added, and I assume the 'stable' kernel will need updating for each new release of DS-5 as people will want the latest version. Of course, there isn't a great deal of reason to have it in the kernel tree apart from letting you build it into the kernel to avoid having to deploy is separately when you rebuild a kernel binary. Gator is available from ARM as a tarball and from the Linaro git git://git.linaro.org/arm/ds5/gator.git. Linaro Android builds use that repo so you don't need it in the kernel tree for that and it can be installed on Linaro Ubuntu images with: apt-get install gator-daemon gator-module-dkms -- Tixy _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
