  • Quoting Randy:

    "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
    20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
    20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

    However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
    _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
    and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

  • This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
    currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
    (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
    avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
    BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.

    The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
    Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
    December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
    processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
    orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
    (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
    single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
    instruction-set architecture.

    The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
    ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

    The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
    there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
    documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
    http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
    patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
    bfin-linux-uclibc

    This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
    uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
    http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

    We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
    be found at:
