Which kernel tree

I've got u-boot working on my custom board, so now it's getting time to build a working kernel for my system-to-be.

I have a PPC405GPr. I'll be writing drivers for the SystemACE and custom chips on the board, but I might as well do that work on a kernel that I'll be able to use for a while. So that begs the question, which kernel tree should I be following?

There's the one at denx, that seems to be 2.4.4 from over a year ago, or there are the kernels at www.kernel.org, that may not have the up to date parts, or there's the bkbits.net bitkeeper tree.

Try linuxppc-2.4 BK tree (ppc.bkbits.net) it should work just fine for 405GPr.

If you have problems with 405 and this tree, please post them to this list :).

OK, so that means I'm going to have to get accustomed to bitkeeper. That'll be slightly interesting. (Grr..)

You can use something like
rsync -az --delete source.mvista.com::linuxppc-2.4 linuxppc-2.4 to download the tree.

There is also linuxppc_2_4_devel on our CVS server, which is 2.4.24-preX

Dear Mr. Wolfgang,

But how to make it?I used WinCvs in WIN2000 and CVS command in REDHAT 7.3 as
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot login but couldn't connect.If I use proxty like 172.12.18.1:8080 which I can login your webpage,how could I get to linuxppc_2_4_devel?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Sam

Dear Sam,

I cannot comment on WinCvs (as I've never worked under Windoze), but CVS in RH-7.3 will certainly work.

Are you sure that it's not some other configuration on your end which is preventing CVS from working? Like a firewall blocking the CVS port (2401) ?

Use CVS. It works.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
