I only looked at the change to the innovator CDL
(hal/arm/arm9/innovator/current/cdl/hal_arm_arm9_innovator.cdl), but it
appears that your script changed the wrong thing in that file:
CYGNUM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_COMM_CHANNELS instead of CYGNUM_HAL_RTC_*,
probably because I misfollowed the model of one of the other CDL's when I
created it. The change that you made is innocuous enough (I originally
plugged in "calculated" for VIRTUAL_VECTOR_COMM_CHANNELS as a placeholder
against the day that I updated the comm channels to support all 3 serial
ports -- perhaps there is a better way to constrain that value), but I
thought you should know.
