"FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64, powerpc, and ia64 architectures..." But... 6.1 doesn't seem to exist for PPC??? The PPC link at http://www.freebsd.org/where.html points to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ppc/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/ which doesn't exist. In addition, there are no 6.1 torrents for PPC, and none of the mirrors seem to contain ISOs or torrents either. Am I missing something?

U-boot passes device tree information in a format derived from the openfirmware specifications. The format is available here - http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc64-dev/2005-December/006994.html I was thinking of writing an openfirmware emulator code that will map the information given by u-boot to the format expected by the freebsd openfirmware code. In other words, implement the 'openfirmware' function in the kernel itself and use it. Has anyone done this before? Any information on what functionality I would need to provide and pointers to some conclusive documentation would be useful. -aditya From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Wed May 31 08:39:16 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 CDEB216A420 for ; Wed, 31 May 2006 08:39:16 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from aag.lists@gmail.com) Received: from py-out-1112.google.com (py-out-1112.google.com [64.233.166.176]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 48C8143D53 for ; Wed, 31 May 2006 08:39:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from aag.lists@gmail.com) Received: by py-out-1112.google.com with SMTP id o67so516207pye for ; Wed, 31 May 2006 01:39:15 -0700 (PDT) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:to:subject:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; b=bTqbayF/GAAMkQINvlzbrroVNvZpb1VL5FiaNYxFl4UCNYKkcoDNxiWDZlQw2Wjo5s/RfdXL7nA0v/nP/Br+qNwpd3OqP5+6KZYMD9Vr3+FxYZ046QOk4zWWxARP1gjyEdSoRPUliHCwHfdVtAPtQElsY0yk6HHqWp7D6aYzGoY= Received: by 10.35.99.17 with SMTP id b17mr5619807pym; Wed, 31 May 2006 01:39:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.35.50.12 with HTTP; Wed, 31 May 2006 01:39:15 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <2f3a439f0605310139u5facf25av75d5986a540b4343@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 14:09:15 +0530 From: "Aditya Godbole" To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <000c01c68486$ca410260$3c05000a@JARASNOTEBOOK> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <2f3a439f0605302339y25f5081cuab8e79467043490b@mail.gmail.com> <000c01c68486$ca410260$3c05000a@JARASNOTEBOOK> Subject: Re: Booting from u-boot X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 08:39:17 -0000 On 5/31/06, Jarek Woloszyn wrote: > Hi, > > Look at this page: > > http://openbios.org > Hi, The catch is that I have to use u-boot; I don't have a choice there. Although if I could get u-boot to load openbios which in turn would would load the kernel, it might solve the problem. But I would prefer it if the kernel itself was independent of openfirmware and had a openfirmware implementation in itself. -aditya From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jun 1 11:52:52 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 F333D16B449 for ; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 11:52:51 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from grehan@freebsd.org) Received: from dommail.onthenet.com.au (dommail.OntheNet.com.au [203.13.70.57]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6A92B43D45 for ; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 11:52:50 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from grehan@freebsd.org) Received: from dommail.onthenet.com.au (localhost.onthenet.com.au [127.0.0.1]) by dommail.onthenet.com.au (MOS 3.5.7-GR) with ESMTP id BWG88617; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 21:52:44 +1000 (EST) Received: from 12.197.38.130 by dommail.onthenet.com.au (MOS 3.5.7-GR) with HTTP/1.1; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 21:52:44 +1000 Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 21:52:44 +1000 From: Peter Grehan To: Aditya Godbole , freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailer: Mirapoint Webmail Direct 3.5.7-GR MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <4b178a13.c18b236b.81b8e00@dommail.onthenet.com.au> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: Subject: Re: Booting from u-boot X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 11:52:54 -0000 >I want to get the kernel to boot from u-boot.

This kind of approach is used by Sun in their SPARC Solaris ports, as the "OpenBootPROM" implementation never got past a certain stage, instead they have enough to find the disks, ethernet, load a filesystem, and then the boot loader layers on top a more "compatible" OpenFirmware representation which presents to the real OS. The OF on Apple is a little better/more complete and of course the Genesi OpenFirmware kicks it's ass even more :3 -- Matt Sealey Manager, Genesi, Developer Relations From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jun 1 18:44:51 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 0FD1516A430 for ; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 18:44:51 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from nec556@retena.com) Received: from smtp06.retemail.es (smtp06.auna.com [62.81.186.16]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3054B43D46 for ; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 18:44:49 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from nec556@retena.com) Received: from dander.retena.com ([212.21.232.99]) by smtp06.retemail.es (InterMail vM.6.01.04.01 201-2131-118-101-20041129) with ESMTP id <20060601184447.YOGM8369.smtp06.retemail.es@dander.retena.com> for ; Thu, 1 Jun 2006 20:44:47 +0200 Message-Id: <6.2.3.4.0.20060601203943.028d0a18@pop3.retena.com> X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.2.3.4 Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 20:43:30 +0200 To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org From: Eduardo Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Auth-Info: Auth:LOGIN IP:[212.21.232.99] Login:nec556@retena.com Fecha:Thu, 1 Jun 2006 20:44:47 +0200 Subject: Altivec and FreeBSD X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 18:44:51 -0000 Hello: Does FreeBSD for PPC use altivec code?

I did this sort of thing while doing a FreeBSD port to an MCP750 CompactPCI board which had Motorola's PPCBug firmware. One of the things you could also consider would be not booting the kernel directly off U-Boot but getting the 3rd stage loader(8) run first, so you could pass the kernel env in the native way (that's what I did on the PPCBug) and generally have the kernel in the form it normally is produced with buildkernel (and not prepend it with U-Boot header etc.). Having said that I'd be actually very interested in your making the FreeBSD kernel compliant with U-Boot and be able to run it directly. >> Has anyone done this before? > > Not to my knowledge. > We ported U-Boot to many h/w platforms and know it pretty well, also brought FreeBSD to this compactPCI board, so might help you somehow.
