One of the problems that miknix has run into so far is that the

Hmm... will do.
In the freerunner they are using the sc32440 for this generation of the
phone right? It should only be minor kernel patching required. But I'd
rather us not have an explicit openmoko-sources as I'm using the sc324xx
chips myself.
The FreeRunner uses the sc32442B. The only thing I don't really like
with the openmoko-kernel at least, is that they've jammed board info
into /proc/cpuinfo instead of /proc/SBC/info.
e.g.
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n 3
Hardware : GTA02
Revision : 0350
Serial : 0000000000000000
Personally, I think that belongs in /proc/SBC/info, so that's the only
patch that I would make, although it would probably make some waves in
the rest of the openmoko community/stack.
I'm not sure why you would have to provide any toolchain patches.
Cool - I just remember how difficult it was to get the ep93xx / maverick
fpu working. The FreeRunner has no dedicated on-or-off-chip FPU so
softfloat it is.
Although I'm sure that if the SMedia 3362 driver source code was
available, that the graphics processor could double as an FPU. That
would definitely require some toolchain hacking - so maaaaybe I'll
forget about it ... for now.
