Hello, I am not the one in FreeBSD community to do arm porting. I am just interesting in it and have done some survey on FreeBSD. It should be a little useful to share with anyone who is interested in this topic. About cross-compiler: You can check /usr/ports/devel/arm* packages. I am using arm-elf-gcc295 and arm-elf-binutils. I don't know what is the difference between elf and rtems packages. About FreeBSD arm developement: You can check with the url: http://pages.infinit.net/sepotvin/ There is some patch about an incomplete arm porting(in my opinion, I am not sure yet). But I think its target is SA1100. I guess that the patch is for FreeBSD 5.x only. I have try to compile it. After adding some unreference symbols, it can link to an image. About FreeBSD arm porting progress: You can reference the url: http://www.javagear.com/freebsd/index.html There is a lot of information about the todo list for arm porting. About ARM assembly programming information: There is a great on-line document at url: http://www.peter-cockerell.net:8080/aalp/html/frames.html There is also a similar japanese version at url: http://www.nk.rim.or.jp/~jun/slasm/arm00.html Though I am not japanese and don'e know japanese, I still think it is very valuable. Especially this is for Zaurus, it should be more useful for you. Wish things above are useful. Joshua at Taiwan.
