I have a Bluetechnix CM-BF548 board with BF548 revision 0.1

After kernel sources update and compiling it I get error message

/home/abo/projects/blackfin-sources/uclinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/arch/blackfin/mach-bf548/include/mach/anomaly.h:18:3:

error: #error will not work on BF548 silicon version 0.0, or 0.1

So, what I must do to continue my project with present hardware?

Is it really critical to use only 0.2 revision of BF548?

If you don't experience random kernel crashes - you may use your 0.1 board.

Simply comment out the #error.

But don't submit bugs - we may not help you.

Alexey:

Before just commenting out the error - go read the anomaly description that the error talks about. Then decide if you need to upgrade or not.

Plus - it is not as easy as "random kernel crashes" - it is random anything. userspace crashes, userspace doesn't crash, but calculates 1+1=3. kernel crashes, kernel doesn't crash, but doesn't do things properly. It could be anything - if you can't trust the external memory - you can't trust anything.

That being said - we didn't notice many issues when running on 0.1 - but that doesn't mean that the system you have will not exhibit this problem.

But what the reason you break support of 0.0 and 0.1 revisions?

And what to do whith all boards whith installed chip of 0.1 and 0.0 revisions?

I think it is hard quest to get a board whith chip revision greater then 0.1.
