--eoIDHIhs9vfKIXA8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello SPARC hackers, Last week I sent this message to some of the FreeBSD lists, to discuss my work on the new TTY layer I'm working on. The entire message is available at: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-June/008270.html ----- Forwarded message from Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> ----- > Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:56:32 +0200 > From: Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> > To: FreeBSD Arch <arch@FreeBSD.org>, FreeBSD Current <current@FreeBSD.org> > Subject: MPSAFE TTY layer - Testers? Reviews?

Help wanted. ----- End forwarded message ----- There are actually two things which should be of interest to the SPARC people: - The Sun4V console driver does not compile anymore. It needs some work to get it back to a usable state. I don't own a Sun4V machine, which means I can't fix it. - The SPARC64 ofw_console(4) driver has been ported, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be such a device on my U5. I don't have the U5 anymore (I temporarily borrowed the U5 at the office). I would really like it if someone would test this driver on his/her hardware. - Syscons already works on sparc64. uart(4) should also work, but I didn't really test it thoroughly. I would really appreciate it if people would be willing to test my MPSAFE TTY patchset. It would be nice if I could integrate this in a couple of months.
