Hi Ian, Are you aware of projects/armv6[1] in svn? Due to big changes in architecture introduced with ARMv6 we have separate tree where all ongoing development is happening. Hopefully we will be able to merge back changes to HEAD soon. We have (partially) working support for recent Marvel SoC and some TI boards (PandaBoard/OMAP4, Beaglebone/AM335x). There is also OMAP3 code waiting to be integrated. Also Andrew is working on moving to ARM EABI[2] which will allow us to use llvm/clang and all new ARM goodies which are not supported in our aged gcc. Any help is welcome...
