NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.
eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.
NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.
Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.
Finally we could close another ancient PR port-arc/11443.
After several years, we got the native bootloader and then had
sysinst which would do apprpriate partitioning for the bootloader,
so I've noted the last difficult part, how to specify boot commands
on the ARC BIOS.
I still wonder how many possible users of NetBSD/arc are there
who will need this topic though... ;-p
for the most part, skeleton files that allow the amd64 INSTALL document
to have all the platform-independent bits, with very little MD stuff.
The MD pieces will have to wait for someone familiar with the platform
to add them.
The Iyonix is a desktop machine from Castle Technology, based on a 600MHz
XScale[tm] 80321 processor.
* Uses the bootloader from NetBSD/acorn32, which is now 32-bit compatible.
* Currently boots multiuser with a serial console.
* Device support is not yet complete.
With help from abs.
- move guts of distrib/Makefile.inc to distrib/common/Makefile.distrib
(fixes problem caused by implicit include of ../Makefile.inc in certain
submake conditions triggered by makefiles not yet in tree)
- removed mkdir of ${RELEASEDIR}/*; rely upon "snap_pre" target of
etc/Makefile to create all the release directories
- renamed RELINSTALL to RELEASE_INSTALL
- renamed FLOPPYINSTDIR to FLOPPY_RELEASEDIR
- renamed MDSETDIR to MDSET_RELEASEDIR
- removed ITARGET
- move release target from top level to appropriate subdirectory
- ensure release target has correct depends
- replace miniroot's IMAGE_MD_POST with common/Makefile.image IMAGEPOSTBUILD
- Makefile.image: add realall: ${IMAGE}
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
way, we can safely add them to all the document source files in the
repository without changing the INSTALL document output. Long term we
are going to have to decide on a better document generation mechanism
-- this one is really on its last legs and too ad hoc for words.
version number from /sys/conf/osrelease.sh.
replace MACHINE symbol with _MACH, and define _VER for version number.
fileset names must still be updated by hand; this is a bit harder to
fix unless GNU cpp's -traditional-cpp flag is used.
