Hi all,
Is there any guidelines/tutorial for porting the SMP kernel into a
dual core new architecture based on MIPS32?
AFAIK, in the x86 world we have Intel MPS 1.4 standard. I wonder if
there exists a similar thing for MIPS. In other words, what are the
minimum requirements needed to port the SMP kernel into such an
architecture?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,

The MIPS Architecture definition defines the behaviour of the processor
in great detail. It doesn't define the system level or firmware. I
suggest you download the architecture manual from www.mips.com and if
that leaves any questions open, post again.
