Hi,

I just want to report my progress:

I have disabled caching from in first boot stage, because I haven't got 
it boot
reliably with Caches enabled. I just need to pay more intention when 
doing the remapping of the
kernel memory at the first boot stage.

It takes about 1.5 seconds for it to complete the boot without cache, I 
think it went much faster (< 1.5 sec) when I had
cache enabled. For now these 1.5 seconds are not very important as the 
uploading of the kernel consume most of the
time, about 20 seconds using USB.

I have made 2400X specific functions and filled constants for the 
s3c2400X chip, so if you are also playing with this
chip maybe we should try to minimize duplicate work and synchronize our 
sources.

Btw, do you know if there is any work done on SMC readers for the 
s3c2xx0 chip in NetBSD? I haven't seen any around
but I wanted to ask before start digging in that.


Regards,

Karl Janmar
