IMHO, the kernel now living at cvs.uclinux.org is much cleaner then the kernel tree from Aplio (with all due respect to the fine work and coders at Aplio) and should make porting to other ARM7TDMI platforms easier. First, I have pulled out all the hard coded addresses and make them into .config options. Also, the Aplio tree curiously duplicates the entire drivers branch under arch/armnommu and has done some violence to the core drivers in the process to accomodate them to the Aplio/Trio (also known as the Atmel AT75C310) . The tree in cvs.uclinux.org doesn't do that, but rather uses all the normal linux drivers in all the normal places. -Erik -- Erik B.
