Things are now at a stage where the SiBa bus attachment stuff works, irq allocation is propagated to nexus (because SiBa interrupts appear to map 1:1 on MIPS ones). I am currently trying to get the PCI host bridge working. The WGT634U ships with an Atheros 5213 in its MiniPCI slot so this should be interesting. The Sentry5 is a good way to get the SiBa support matured to a point where we can think about targetting smaller systems based on chips such as the Broadcom 4702 and 4710. One thing we really need assistance with is a flash filesystem and drivers for non-MMC flash memory. It would be great if someone could step up to doing this -- FreeBSD lacks a framework such as Linux has for this (MTD). My overall objective for this project is to get the code to a point where it will boot single-user and mount root via NFS using the SiBa Ethernet cores present on the bus, most likely using the bfe(4) driver.
