first alpha from the Linux Git today.
New:

I notice you still have PASEMI_IOMMU_DMA_FORCE selected, that should have been fixed by:
commit 416f37d0816b powerpc/pasemi: Fix coherent_dma_mask for DMA engine
Note also there are 3 of my patches due to be merged, so our patch will be changing again soon.
I've tested my build from linux-next, seems to be working nicely.
Also there seems to be a new Radeon firmware added to the kernel: si58_mc.bin. Note sure which cards need it though.
Regards
Darren

I will deactivate the option PASEMI_IOMMU_DMA_FORCE.

I've found only the 2 following patches. Where is the third patch?

Hi Darren,
I've found some patches.
Thanks a lot for these patches.
These patches were merged today:
Merge branch 'for-4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata
This means we have to remove
libata-sff.c and
pata_atiixp.c from the Nemo patch.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,
Darren moved a lot of source code from the Nemo patch to the official kernel source code again. Thereby our Nemo patch has become smaller again.
I compiled the
alpha2 with the new smaller
Nemo patch 4.11-1 and with the kernel config
nemo-4.11-alpha2.config today.
New:
Download:
vmlinux-4.11-alpha2-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz
BTW, it is still possible to upgrade packages on ubuntu MATE 17.04 PowerPC. I upgraded some packages yesterday and today.

Hi All,
I got some error messages with the latest Linux Git version including the new PowerPC updates (
powerpc-4.11-1):
Code: Select all
arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/pci.c:281:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'isa_bridge_find_early' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
isa_bridge_find_early(hose);
^
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/pci.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi] Error 2
make: *** [arch/powerpc/platforms] Error 2
The Linux PPC kernel developers moved the declaration of '
isa_bridge_find_early' from the file '
arch/powerpc/include/asm/pci-bridge.h' to
'arch/powerpc/include/asm/isa-bridge.h'.
I added
to the part '
arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/pci.c' in our Nemo patch. This solved the problem.
Cheers,
Christian

It is still possible to upgrade ubuntu MATE 17.04 PowerPC. I was able to upgrade it today. Maybe we reach the final version of ubuntu MATE 17.04 PowerPC.

Hi All,
Great news!
Darren's X1000 audio driver patch was added to the Linux Git last night.
Link:
ALSA: hda/patch_sigmatel: Add AmigaOne X1000 pin configs
Because of that I created a new Nemo patch today.
Download:
nemo_4.11-3.patch
Our Nemo patch has become smaller again.
Cheers,
Christian
