Amlogic aml8726-m3 / aml8726-m6 SoC status

[John Wehle]

> what is your main target device?

My current development box I purchased from ebay and came without any
reliable information regarding the actual make / model.  However it
appears to be a Visson Tech ATV-102 ... the original Visson specs say
aml8726-m3, however my actual unit behaves as if contains the aml8726-m6
(the RTC is slightly different between the m3 and the m6).

Some info is at:

I have two other Amlogic units from different manufacturers which I'll
use for additional testing once I'm happy on the ATV-102.

Nothing I've seen references STMicroelectronics, however the register
information in the Amlogic linux driver seems to line up with some other
documentation I have for the DesignWare Core Ethernet MAC.

Quite possibly.

I haven't looked at it yet, so I don't know.  Amlogic has supplied
some information upon request regarding other things ... we'll see
what happens when I start working on the flash memory support.
