회신: 회신: 회신: [PATCH] ODROID-X: hkdk4412: Add new hardware based on Exynos4412

[Dongjin Kim]

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.
Fortunately I got ODROID-X hardware earlier and am able to boot with mainline kernel.

I will try to do alternative way first with source code kernel 3.0.15, and hope you review the patch if ready.

Regards,
Dongjin.

Ideally they already have one waiting to be submitted, but that might
not be the case. Given that the origenboard design with 4412 is not
yet shipping, I'm guessing the Linaro Samsung engineers might not have
done much work on 4412 yet. Kukjin? Thomas?

The alternative is to use the data you have available -- i.e. sources
and patches, and craft the device tree from there. The design of 4412
is a derivative from 4210, so that's a good start. Next step would be
to describe the board on top of the SoC, peripherals, etc. Take a look
at how the origen board support was added, and so on.

I ordered an odroid-x several weeks ago but I haven't have a confirmed
shipping date yet. :( I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can help
out, unfortunately.
