Re: [Ltib] Which version of LTIB

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Svein,

I try hard to keep later versions of LTIB compatible with older ones 
best I can.  So the later version (Savannah) would be your best bet.

Savannah should contain everything in the BSP you have from Freescale 
with the exception of maybe some platform/kernel specific parts.  What 
do you see in the Freescale version that is not in Savannah (which 
platform is it?).

So far as the LTIB components are concerned (and anything GPL or with an 
OSS license) you may copy those and use them.  If you identify these 
parts, I can get them into Savannah.  However, if the Freescale BSP has 
references to package content they have not published on the GPP, you 
will need to check carefully what license those parts are under before 
copying them run: ./ltib -m listpkgseula.  Again if GPL'ed they can be 
directly uploaded to the GPP.

Please note: if you do decide to use the Freescale BSP as your baseline 
you will still need to honour any licensing conditions.  Also I will not 
be able to support you, you would need to go to Freescale (I don't 
download their BSPs unless I really need to as they're big).

Regards, Stuart
