Yes, the IGEPv2 and the Overo are indeed very similar machines so we base the hardware modeling on the Overo.
The only differences here are which OMAP version is used to initialize the MPU (3630 instead of 3430) and the NAND memory used, Numonyx OneNAND instead of Micron NAND.
That's pretty minor -- can you just use the overo model as is? I bet nothing at the software level cares that much about the OMAP version or NAND manufacturer...
Yes, I guess we can use the Overo as is.
We just add this device model for our clients so I thought it was a good idea to post the patch upstream. But feel free to ignore me if you think that it doesn't add any value to Linaro QEMU.
I appreciate the patch. My pushback is really that every new board we accept carries an implicit future cost for testing/maintenance/etc, so there needs to be a reasonable set of users who would use this and not the overo or beagle.
Yes, I totally understand. Then just feel free to just ignore the patch, sorry for the noise.
Sorry about that, I didn't know that GPLv2 or later was the norm in the QEMU project.
We've just changed recently to asking people to include the "or later" clause for new code (this is why, as you note, there are some existing bits of code which are v2-only).
