Hello all,
Does anyone try to run NetBSD on Simtec EB2410ITX evaluation board?
It uses Samsung S3C2410 processor, just as currently supported SMDK2410,
so I think this is a good start point.
I built a SMDK2410 kernel, but with that board's specified driver removed,
put it on a CD, then use the loader of EB2410ITX (named ABLE) to load
and boot it.
It does not work. The load warnings can be access via the following URL:
http://www.alqualonde.org/~yongjhen/netbsd/evbarm/eb2410itx-loadwarn.txt
And boot just fails with:
>boot
boot: booting 'netbsd-elf'
netbsd_boot_elf: error: cannot boot on this machine type
I think the problem is that ABLE doesn't not load NetBSD kernel correctly,
as the following message shows that it can't boot kernel from FFS:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cats/2003/10/04/0000.html
Is this situation still the same?
I guess I need to write a 2nd stage loader to load NetBSD kernel, or a
loader to replace
ABLE entirely.
