[PATCH]: linux-2.6.3-uc0 (MMU-less fixups)

[Greg Ungerer]

Hi All,

An update of the uClinux (MMU-less) fixups against 2.6.3.
Nothing much new, just redone against 2.6.3.

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.6.x/linux-2.6.3-uc0.patch.gz

Regards
Greg

Any plans for a 2.6-version of the ARM-support?

Yes. There is some code available now, although it is not complete
and doesn't fully work yet. It really needs more cleaning up before
it will be interresting or useful to anyone.

Dang.  I wish I still had some arm-hardware to play with (no, I'm not
gonna sacrifice my Tungsten E for uClinux-work...)

How's the status of the 2.0-port of uClinux, btw?  Is it unintrusive
enough to be considered for a 2.0-merge?

You don't need real hardware :-)

The gdb/ARMulator makes a fine target for development.
Quicker and easier to develop with. Heres a good place
to get started with it if interrested:

Hmm, probably not. It is no where near as clean as the 2.6
merge. It could be cleaned up, but no one seems to interrested
in doing the work.

Greg

Yeah, but real hardware is more fun.

Well, if there are users and interest, I could do at least some of the
work.  Since I've already done some work with 2.0 uClinux, and since I'm
the 2.0 maintainer, I do have some experience ;-)

There are still users. I was planning on merging in your 2.0.40
code sometime soon, to bring the uClinux 2.0 sources up to date
at the very least. But if you feel like doing it, that would be
good too :-)

Regards
Greg

Tungsten is Palm-clone, right? So they are using ARMs there, but
unlike everyone other, mmu-less ARMs?

Actually, I've never bothered checking what kind of ARM it is, might be
an ARM with an MMU...
