Hello All,
since it is quite quiet on the port-arm32 front, i think its a good idea
to update the 1yr old TODO list ... so ppl who want to build on something
know what needs to be done yet...
One of the things that might be on the list is a replacement of the RiscOS
bootloader. Not that it is that bad, not at all, but more that its then
possible to have a uniform bootloader across all NetBSD/arm32. My idea was
f.e. to look if its posible to use the NetBSD/arm26 bootloader and modify
it so it will load NetBSD/arm32 on the RiscPC too. The idea behind this is
that it is then not nessisary to have Risc/RC7500 to migle and set up a
lot of TLB's etc when the kernel is allready running.
One of the other things is a bit tracking ....: the console cleanup code
... is somone working on it? it is stated in the current TODO list that
ppl are working on it, but i dont see any progress.... The Seeq 800x
drivers for ea and eb ... i got some drivers quite a time ago from Mark
Brinicombe but he still hasnt committed them ... then how are we -current
users expected to beta test them and help debug them ?
Just some rantings - sorry... but i hope my point is made...
Take care,
Reinoud
