[9fans] Kabini or Raspberry Pi?

2014-07-03 Thread kokamoto
Thanks all. I made order the A68N-5000 board yesterday. I may have many difficulties to run Plan 9, (UEFI etc), in such case I'll run windows on it.☺ By the way, I got attention to arm architecture now. I tried to compile raspberry pi on my plan9 machine, and got problem. When to compile

i notice one bit in this thread that doesn't reflect how things really work. drives get labled C or D if they are blind probed at the usual i/o port locations; otherwise if they are discovered via pci space (even if at the standard port locations) they are labled starting with E. ahci drives

I found an old thread with a series of steps that called for building the compilers without runebase first then bringing runebase back into libc after (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.plan9/rjFtp4F82U0) - the steps didn't work for me though. What did work was using 5c from

have you recompiled the arm libraries and compiler/linker? there can be some chicken-and-egg problems with this but they are largely mitigated by the c compiler's do-it-yourself attitude. I recompiled 5c, which purged the problem, thanks. One thing, recent pc/trap.c has validalign() function,

Hello 9fans, Is there a link to the styx.c used in the Vita Nuova Styx-on-a-Brick implementation that was used on the Lego RCX? I'd like to look at the code in source form, after reading http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/styx-on-a-brick/. Many thanks! Shane.
