I couldn't see any kernel patches linked here. Did you need any,
or have you posted them somewhere else?

The kernel patch is at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-April/052585.html,
hidden inside a Buildroot patch.

I haven't posted it anywhere else because it's a hack to workaround a
Qemu problem: the 5208 apparently has support for separate supervisor
and userspace stack pointers (through two different registers), but
Qemu doesn't emulate that. So I think it's a flaw in Qemu emulation
rather than a kernel problem, but it was easier for now to workaround
it by just adding one "select COLDFIRE_SW_A7".

Ah, ok. I only put the dual stack pointer support in a year or 2 back.
And it is only supported on the more modern ColdFire's, guess the QEMU
support is for the simpler parts :-)


Nice to see that it can run under QEMU!

Well, as I said, it actually doesn't run very well: if I use /bin/sh as
init=, then I can run *one* command, and the kernel crashes :-)

So we can say it boot all the way to userspace, but userspace isn't
very useful :)

Well, it is a good start at least.

Regards
Greg
