>A question regarding the Debian installation to e500 system: >As I understand, standard Debian powerpc won't work on e500 because of >"lwsync" problem, right? Right. Every C++ program will throw SIGILL because libstdc++ uses this opcode in one of its init functions. I've seen core documentation which says that they have a bit in the HID1 register of the CPU to enable lwsync and don't threat it as an invalid opcode. However I haven't find a CPU which implements this bit i.e. the CPU's reference manual treats this bit as reserved. >Here are the instructions on how to boot you e500 machine: >http://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort#Installingtheport > >"... >edit etc/apt/sources.list and enter a mirror from here which is close to you. >the password for root is root >..." > >Should I proceed with apt-get after boot? Yes. You can boot into the minimal environment and install packages you need with apt-get. >Will it load the complete Debian, with toolchain? you can execute apt-get install build-essential and this will install gcc & binutils. >Thanks in advance, >Sergei Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
