I've snooped around these here parts before, but recently I've felt that it's time for me to try to get serious. A lot of people on these boards (myself included) want to see platforms other than macppc supported by the ppc port, namely rs6k/pSeries (<< a big one for me) and Genesi. I know that the list of requirements for getting these platforms up and running is long, particularly where the move to 64-bit is concerned, and quite frankly at this stage, way beyond me, but that's the point of this email. If I tried to throw my name into the hat, what would it take for me to self-train in driver writing, kernel code, and the various other aspects of the system that need to be built? I'm pretty strong in C++, but I know that a lot of drivers and other parts of the system are written in C, so I get the impression that I will pretty much be starting from square one as far as the actual implementation part goes, even if I understand the concepts behind the implementation. Any good books/manuals? I'm usually pretty good at learning from reading source code. Any particular source files I should print out to start with?

I am not sure whether they are supported in the newer machines. M14 Jeff Isaac wrote: Hi Folks!

I think it kernel panics currently. Since the Pegasos at least uses a PC southbridge, standard interrupt controller (not openpic), initialised PC graphics cards (using x86 emulator in firmware) and so on, nearly all the driver support is there as it is on a PC. I really should check where it gets to sometime this week. We donated a lot of board to a lot of developers (3 at least to FreeBSD) and it's time to check in where people got.. :3 -- Matt Sealey Manager, Genesi, Developer Relations > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Isaac > Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 6:57 PM > To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org > Subject: Starting from the Beginning > > Hi Folks! > > I've snooped around these here parts before, but recently > I've felt that it's time for me to try to get serious.
