No, they've had no testing as far as I'm aware. noMMU never got to the stage when it was merged that it had any platforms before Hiyok went silent. The only real testing I'm aware of is when I recreated the OKI67001 support a while back and got my board to boot. As for qemu, software emulations while nice and convenient don't accurately reflect real hardware. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
