A mailing list was created, freebsd-mips, and a Perforce branch was created in //depot/projects/mips. Changes which will be necessary to allow multiple MIPS (and PowerPC) metaports to exist under one architecture port were made, and are being pushed back into the main FreeBSD tree. Some preliminary header work has been done, and porting the ARCBIOS interfaces to the kernel has begun. The toolchain in tree was updated and modified in places to support a FreeBSD/MIPS (Big Endian) target, in the Perforce branch. Some early boot code has proven the GDB MIPS simulator to work, for at least R3000 code, though whether R3000 will be supported has been under discussion. Some initial architectural decisions were also made, to steer current work. Thanks, juli. -- Juli Mallett | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve Will break world for fulltime employment. | finger jmallett@FreeBSD.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jmallett/ | Support my FreeBSD hacking!
