I still have to ask you for that driver, so yes I am interested in the patch ;-) > Still applies and works as of the last kernel I updated on the board, > 6.18 I think? The update is a "pop the sd card, stick in laptop, copy > files, move sd card back" kinda thing. ... which has been the main obstacle for me to integrate turtleboard in my regular kernel testing workflow. There are only 24 hours in a day, so usually there is no time left for juggling SD cards :-( > I should do a linux image that > can wget and kexec, but haven't yet... Anyway, doesn't help with this > issue.) Does kexec work on MMU-less J2? On SH4, there was never an upstream kernel that worked with upstream kexec-tools. The only one that works is the kexec binary from the old landisk distro, which predates SH support in upstream kexec-tools, and can only start a new kernel from a system that is running kernel 2.6.22... BTW, this is seriously off-topic for openrisc and qemu, so please reduce the CC list when continuing the linux-sh discussion.. Thanks!
