ArchARM on a Cirrus EP3902

[cbrues]

Has anyone tried the armv5 package on a a Cirrus EP3902 based board?

I've worked with the Debian image for this board but would like try out Arch on it. Olimex makes a similar board.

Looks like am armv5 generation, so it'd be a bring your own kernel situation

[kmihelich]

Can you post a cat of /proc/cpuinfo?

[cbrues]

Definitely a bring your own kernel as it has alot of hacks to use the FPGA on the board to access flash storage and other perhips (frambuffer, rtc, wdt ).

Here is cpuinfo:

Oh, I forgot to mention that the ep93xx is in the mainline kernel, but the changes that they made for the TS7370 aren't in the form of nice patches and are a project for another day.

Unfortunately you won't be able to run this distribution, our minimum supported architecture is v5t and that chip is a v4t. I believe only Debian and ArmedSlack build for v4.

Ok, thanks for the info.
