Re: Partial support for the PowerQUICC MPC8xx



Hi,

As far as I remember, the MPC8xx does not have any MMU.

So, does it mean that you want to provide a NetBSD support for any
chipsets that do not have any MMU ?

Regards,
  Vincent

Hi,

I have been asked to contribute some of Wasabi Systems' port to the
MPC8xx range of PowerQUICC CPUs. While I can't contribute a fully
functional port, I can contribute one of the important building blocks,
namely the pmap module and its associated glue. Because it is not a
complete port, I don't feel it is appropriate to commit the code as-is.
Hence the use of a mailing list to release it.

The hope is that the community will use the code as the basis for a
porting effort. I will be able to provide a small amount of online
support, pertaining to this code, for any such endeavour.

To date, the code has been used successfully on a customer-specific
board, and an Analogue & Micro Adder875 evaluation board:

Cheers, Steve
