DM6446 is quite different from OMAP-L138. Both AM180x and DA850 are just
derivatives of OMAP-L138.

Anyway, DM6446 is no longer supported, as it's a very old platform.

Hey Denys,

Wow, I wasn't expecting support to be dropped. I'm sure there is still a bunch of people using it. I guess I could maybe maintain it if someone would give pointers on how to go about it.

OK, so how about this ... I use the same u-boot and kernel that I'm currently using (but built with the same toolchain to build the rootfs ... meta-toolchain) but use am180x-evm to build the rootfs & packages of other stuff I need? I mainly need to have the packages kept relatively up to date (security patches etc.).

Do you see anything wrong with that approach? Same ABI right?

Regards,

Brian
