We did some work with the Genesi folks on EFIKA initially and got it to the point of loading kernel modules but quickly ran into a few issues. First the PC style irq handling approach needs to be reworked. ODW fortunately was like an x86 platform with a 8259, so the code in this area was fairly seamless. Many of the Freescale SOC host offerings 83xx, 86xx are similar in arch with their PIC, so work on a more generalized handler would be worthwhile going forward. Sounds like a great project for someone :)
Next we would need an ethernet driver and the serial port. For ODW we had a driver for the VFE, VIA chip and serial port was PC like. The other problem with irq development was not having some form of JTAG debugger on EFIKA. We had one with ODW. BTW, the SW TLB code for the e300 core was added but would need to be tested. and yes... Guy does rock This message posted from opensolaris.org
