I have a mpc8641 hpcn board which i want to run kexec on and also do some research on software restart.<BR>
I think kexec is an excellent idea for embedded systems where you want to have quick restarts, but currently I can only see ppc gamecube support. <BR>
<BR>
Somewhere i saw that Benjamin Herrenschmidt had plans, but it was a rather old message. Have anyone done any work with this for powerpc?<BR>
Otherwise i intend do start some work to port it to the powerpc platform(if possible).<BR>
I guess that the powerpc usage of device tree instead of the “blob” might be the biggest issue?<BR>
<BR>
Is this the correct place for these discussions? <BR>
