What does Do you have a shell script or a FreeBSD Ports skeleton for a cross compiler? The first thing to do would be to establish a toolchain. If you can send me the necessary information to build "your" crossgcc, I will get the port done and send it into usr/ports/. For those interest in the ARM/StrongARM port and lacking hardware, buying a Psion seris7 or a Compaq iPaQ would be the el cheapo^W^Weconomical solution. You would have a little more trouble with reseting, but the other functions work. If you get a CF slot and a CF disk for the iPaQ and a serial connection, then you are set for development Do wavelan devices work on NetBSD/ARM? | it take to start up a new mailing list for proting to the Arm?
