Re: TI AM35xx support

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. I already tried, but it seems that AM35xx is
much closer to OMA3530 than AM335x. Can't boot BEAGLEBONE kernel
on AM35xx because every single peripheral register has different
address.

Also the AM35xx Ethernet controller is different from one that is
used at AM33xx but I hope there are some similar registers.
