CruxPPC on Sam460?

Hello,

I now switched to a Sam460 and I'm surprised to learn that CruxPPC doesn't exist for the Sam460 by ACube Systems.

Is there some plan?

Thanks.

We received a Sam460ex pre-release board from Acube but this board has some important issues and thus i decided to skip Sam460ex support from CRUX PPC 2.7 release 'cause we cannot provide further support.

2011-07-19: CRUX PPC 2.7a, bugfix release

CRUX PPC 2.7a is available. It's mainly a bugfix release altought it, now, has a partial support for Acube Sam460ex (vga on SM502).
Issues fixed:
- pmac32: this boot kernel fixes an issue that prevents to boot on very old G3 and dual G4 machines and qemu too;
- pegasos2: this boot kernel fixes an issue that prevents to use ps/2 keyboards and mice.

FYI, The Sam460ex isn't included in the Linux kernel but it simply uses the already existing Canyonlands support however the Sam460ex is slightly different from the standard AppliedMicro Canyonlands devel board.
