ARM should support the processor core (I'm not sure what the 922T has over the 920T processor), but as for the devices attached to the core, there isn't any support that I know about for the chip... Adding support for the devices to make it really functional can be a lot of work... but getting basic support functional isn't too difficult.. > This board has an integrated layered-2 managed switch 185-MIPS ARM 922T > processor, with MMU and 8kB I and D cache. > > The initial problems I'm running into at the moment are, the board > doesn't have a readily available serial port that I can connect to. > > please Cc me with any information you can provide as I'm not subscribed > to the list. We are starting to integrate the arm toolchain patches into CVS head, but until then, you can pull the patch out of perforce: http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileLogView.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/arm/gnu%2darm.diff Feel free to ask more questions here. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
