NetBSD/hpcmips takes a different approach to NetBSD/arm32 in that it loads on top of WinCE. As far as I can tell, the hpcmips kernel reuses the WinCE MMU translations; all the arm32 ones rely on a bootloader to map RAM to 0xf0000000. I mainly want the NetBSD SA-11x0 port to work on our own hardware where I can just put a different image into flash, so I am not looking at supporting loading on top of WinCE. So far, nothing has been committed to the tree. Robert Swindells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
