If someone were to step up to contribute such > support, or spend time porting NetBSD's support, that would be great. I have a Au1000-based board, and I plan to work on this if my time permits. I already got printf() over serial cable (basically old YAMON code got revoked to the level, in which we're able to put a byte into the YAMON specific address), so that debugging of low-level bits is possible with seeing something. It required minimal changes. Basically everything was derived from Bruce's work as in the both cases the loader wants to have first byte of the kernel code to be present at the fixed addresses (0x80100000 in my case). I will clean it up and commit to Perforce shortly. -- Wojciech A. Koszek wkoszek@FreeBSD.org http://FreeBSD.czest.pl/dunstan/
