Hi, I am interested in running rump-kernels on bare-metal arm. So far I have built the i386 bare metal repo and run it in qemu and md5sums matched - awesome! I've also been playing with qemu-system-arm and have booted some (very) simple bare metal apps and been fiddling with u-boot.
Now the real question is how to start getting going on this stuff. I am hoping that cross compiling src-netbsd is easy enough (assuming I use the right compiler - arm-linux-gnueabi-, arm-none-eabi-?). Then I assume a bunch of work in a bare-metal/arch/arm directory. I would be very interested in any tips that could get to "something" working initially that I can then build on. I am getting somewhat familiar with qemu, but I also have a few arm based boards I would very much like to support. Complete net-bsd support for each of these (*) is likely patchy but, correct me if I am wrong, I think rump-kernels would provide libc and posix support regardless, which I think is very, very useful anyway.
