I'm not a developer, but this has been up before so I'll jump in anyway. Support for the Pegasos is not planned or worked on at the moment. This is in part (or more likely only) because of the Pegasos different implementation of OpenFirmware.

On the other hand, this shouldn't deter people with strong enough motivation and access to the hardware. Anyone (given enough motivation and time) can learn how to implement the necessary code for a port to a new hardware platform. In this case, it isn't even a brand new platform, just different intialization stage and different hardware devices. No, I'm not saying that this is the easiest assignment a person can undertake. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jan 25 00:17:19 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0B0AD16A41F for ; Wed, 25 Jan 2006 00:17:19 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bbrv@genesi.lu) Received: from mail.pegasosppc.com (mithrandir.softwarenexus.net [66.98.186.96]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A9DC943D45 for ; Wed, 25 Jan 2006 00:17:18 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bbrv@genesi.lu) Received: from adsl-66-142-65-33.dsl.snantx.swbell.net ([66.142.65.33] helo=[192.168.1.68]) by mail.pegasosppc.com with esmtpa (Exim 4.60 (FreeBSD)) (envelope-from ) id 1F1YIq-000AcE-58; Wed, 25 Jan 2006 00:14:24 +0000 In-Reply-To: <20060125010214.7a84b748.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> References: <3a108bac0601240036v657389b6x7775048fdb273973@mail.gmail.com> <20060125010214.7a84b748.torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v746.2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Message-Id: <39E5D922-98D3-4D69-A6DD-3533CB591F25@genesi.lu> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 18:17:15 -0600 To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.746.2) Cc: Matt Sealey Subject: Re: Is there any support for the Peg II PPC hardware (planned)?

Waiting for someone to add their name to the list is a little slow though, it doesn't seem that if we shout "free hardware!" from the rooftops that many people take notice. It is down to developer time, after all, and not availability. In other discussion; I don't think booting FreeBSD on Pegasos II is really majorly different from Mac or other OF hardware. I would be curious to know exactly what kind of differences the developers think exist, and if they are bugs or something very strange, we can endeavour to fix them. We have ONE outstanding bug which definitely makes our system different from other CHRP compliant hardware, which is disk ordering in the OF interface. Mac starts from 1 and Pegasos starts from 0. We are implementing a fix for this in the next firmware version and boot loaders can query what the compatibility setting is (chrp-compatible? nvram var) Just recently a Gentoo developer released his custom boot loader/kernel source code for an own project he did, and we put that source plus the beginnings of an article on PPCZone.org; http://www.ppczone.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=445 As initial system bring-up goes, this is a great example (and all BSD licensed). OpenFirmware is documented at the Sun playground site, enough for all to use beyond that. Any bugs you find in there, please say so here or in mail to me :) We're always here to help if anything goes horribly wrong. If the firmware interface isn't working for you, remember that we use standard off the shelf PC parts (Via 8231 southbridge, firewire, AC97 audio codec) that FreeBSD supports already so as long as they are big-endian safe drivers they should Just Work (tm). We have had some delays with the NetBSD team as they insist on using the OF interfaces for drivers, and they found some problems (a return code in the spec they had never seen before) which was stalling them. -- Matt Sealey Manager, Genesi, Developer Relations > -----Original Message----- > From: Joseph Koshy [mailto:joseph.koshy@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 11:54 PM > To: Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck > Cc: Matt Sealey > Subject: Re: Is there any support for the Peg II PPC hardware > (planned)? > > > If someone here is interested, please send us or Matt (copied) an > > email.

I spent some time trying to boot the board via DHCP with no success : I did not want to spend time building a system and create a boot cd. I bought and tried several network cards with no success. The information I get was the amount of supported card being able to netboot was somewhat limited. Would I have a better success with a Pegasos II ? Strange, I cannot find back my previous posts on the freebsd-ppc archive. I will download a snapshot and give it another try. Phil.

I've never had any experience with porting an OS before.

However, I don't have a watt meter and can't tell if my Mac Mini fan comes on less often because of winter weather or my patch. http://www.sharma-home.net/arun/misc/powersave.tar.gz The patch is against 6.0 and a small kernel driver is included. It doesn't do all the things recommended by the Freescale MPC7450 reference manual (so don't use it on your mother's life support system). But it doesn't seem to readily crash my machine either. If you have a watt meter, I'd appreciate some power measurements: a) With and without the kernel module b) With and without enabling DFS (Dynamic frequency switching) Thanks! -Arun
