My Octane got as far as 'Calibrating delay loop... ' now. It works with
ARCS graphical console, which is a Good Thing. Memory identification is
correct. Caches work OK. I'm going to do the IRQs tomorrow, but I foresee
it will be really hard as there is no documentation for the HEART. Well,
we shall experiment.

Fortunately, the Octane has one really nice feature: the power button is
hooked up to an interrupt source. It may prove quite useful for debugging.

Interesting note: the ARCS console breaks when I change KSEG0 cache
coherence in the CP0_CONFIG register (in c-r4k.c). Of course, it breaks
sooner or later, not exactly afterwards, unless I flush cache exactly
after changing; it breaks immediately then. I don't give a hoot, because
IP30 has almost no RAM in KSEG0 and the kernel runs in XKPHYS, always
cached copy-on-write. But those of you with another machines might be
interested.

Hello!

I have placed a alpha version of my patch for Octane at:

  http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/~sskowron/ip30/

Things currently unsupported:
  * SMP will not work,
  * qLogic SCSI driver oopses at the start,
  * keyboard is not written yet,
  * VPro (Odyssey) graphics,
  * ARCS console,
  * serial console,
  * PCI card cage (trivial, but I can't test it as I don't have one)

Things not yet tested:
  * new Octanes and Octane2s,
  * user mode (yes! I don't have yet a MIPS glibc to cross-compile for
    user mode),
  * almost everything
