Linux on Cirrus EP93xx

[Claudio Scordino <cloud.of.andor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

  I have to install Linux on a board with a Cirrus EP9302 cpu.

I have two questions:

- Cirrus distributes a patched 2.6.8.1 kernel for such cpu. At the same time,
also the standard 2.6.20 kernel supports the cpu.
Which kernel is better ? What kind of support each kernel misses ?

- My application has many floating point operations, so I want to exploit the
Maverick Crunch Math engine of the cpu. What kind of toolchain do I
need to enable such engine ? Does a standard no-soft-float toolchain work ?

Many thanks in advance,

            Claudio
