X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD arm port Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG For a project I have here I need to port FreeBSD to an arm architecture (SA110 processor with a 21285 as pci/memory controller). Is there anyone currently working on this? I remember some discussions about arm support a few weeks ago but I can't quite remember is someone was actively doing it. I'll search the archives later on this afternoon... Before I RTFM and try to learn how to add the support to the FreeBSD gcc compiler to cross-compile from our i386-unknown-freebsd3.0 to arm-unknown-freebsd3.0 I wanted to check if anyone had already done this or was in the process of doing so. I guess it would be easier to do the port using netbsd as host but as the hw is not yet ready we are using an ebsa285 board to do the prototyping and I was told that netBSD doesn't support it natively (though I could be mistaken). Also, some pointers as to what are the main steps for doing such a port (FreeBSD port as a whole) would be greatly appreciated. Comments, pros, cons are welcome :) Regards, Stephane E.
