Here's the content from the status report I've submitted for the latest
round of them, for anyone interested in what's currently going on.
A mailing list was created, freebsd-mips, and a Perforce branch
was created in //depot/projects/mips. Changes which will be
necessary to allow multiple MIPS (and PowerPC) metaports to exist
under one architecture port were made, and are being pushed back
into the main FreeBSD tree. Some preliminary header work has been
done, and porting the ARCBIOS interfaces to the kernel has begun.
The toolchain in tree was updated and modified in places to support
a FreeBSD/MIPS (Big Endian) target, in the Perforce branch. Some
early boot code has proven the GDB MIPS simulator to work, for at
least R3000 code, though whether R3000 will be supported has been
under discussion. Some initial architectural decisions were also
made, to steer current work.
Thanks,
juli.
