Hi! Here's an initial hacked up patch to get the AR9344 to mountroot> . (Which isn't true - it panics due to missing PHY setup on if_arge; I'll fix that up soon.) http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/mips/20130929-mips74k-1.diff The specific changes: * add CPU_MIPS24KC and CPU_MIPS74KC * mips32r2 CPUs require an EHB as a hazard for things, rather than NOPs * mips74k cores have a different CCA (cache coherency attributes) than the default - I lifted this from the netbsd mips support. now, the ar71xx CPUs are all currently marked as CPU_MIPS4KC. I'll follow this up with a commit to change that. There may be things we can optimise in the CPU_MIPS24KC case. Warner and I have started talking about how to properly fix all of the hazard handling. We'll discuss that later. I'd like to commit this to -HEAD so people wishing to hack on mips74k platforms can do stuff. Does anyone have any issues with the above? Thanks, -adrian
