Ok, so does anyone know what happened to the Indigo2 porting project? I
tried to get in touch with someone at UAB but to no avail.
Sorry to bother the rest of you...

I don't know what's going on with UAB - but I just started working on a
port to the Indigo2 this April after receiving some hardware specs.
Needless to say with school and work, progress is a tad bit slow.
Hopefully, once finals are behind me - I can focus more energy on the
task.

Where'd you receive hardware specs from?

Indy. Bill Earl stated that the two systems [indy and indigo2] were very
similar but that he has not had the time to locate any additional
documentation (where Indigo2 differs from Indy). Sorry for the ambiguity.

From Ariel Faigon - who was kind enough to provide detailed specs. for the
Indy. Bill Earl stated that the two systems [indy and indigo2] were very

Well, here at UAB, I have an Indigo2 booting the kernel, mounting root
over NFS, and crashing. All this is done with very few changes to the
source. I am putting together a set of patches currently. I'll post here
when they are ready. I don't have submit access to the CVS tree so I
won't be able to put them there. I would like some people to make sure
the patches don't break the Indy ;)
Also, what is a good way of getting the boot messages to print via the
prom commands? Currently I have a hacked up printk to do this, but would
like something cleaner. Would it be feasible to write a prom console? It
might make it easier to work on boxes without any sort of graphics support
available yet...
