http://www.sun.com/microelectronics/table.html

Contains online programming manuals for sun4m, sun4u processors which
I find a good supplement to the SPARC Arch. Manuals. They document the
MMU interface and extended ASIs, traps etc.

I am using gcc-2.7.2.1 and binutils-2.8.1 with a bunch of cygnus
patches configured as `sparc64-elf' as my toolchain.

I just submitted a port for elftoaout (PR# ports/7150) to convert
static sparc64-elf images to a.out format which can be netbooted by
the Ultra's openboot prom.

Right now, I am digging in the OpenBoot client-interface. I took the
liberty of asking http://www.firmworks.com to donate Open Firmware
documentation, but got no response.
