Would it be possible to upstream this port to distribution? Minux strongly encouraged me to do so. David's advice is very sensible, I'm sure Bell Labs will be interested in your work. That said, it is quite a mouthful, so it may need a bit of digesting. Here, I think Erik QUantrom (9atom) and

Just a quick one - I assume all devices on the Yeeloong (ie, wifi) are functional? If so, this would make a nice little terminal... On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 4:54 PM, lu...@proxima.alt.za wrote: Would it be possible to upstream this port to distribution? Minux strongly encouraged me to do so.

I just got a Loongson 2F machine (Yeeloong 8089A laptop) (MIPS LE), so I extended my previous Loongson 2E port (32 bit) to run on it. Got it running, it's simply MAGIC! I wish I could thank you suitably. Lucio.

This kernel has an in-kernel bzfs including binaries like sam, acme and the compiler (so it is a little big in size). This is valiant (not dissimilar in intent from miller's 9pi) and useful, but in my opinion you'll get a lot more support from people who like me are willing to build the system

Not yet. I am trying to get the hard drive up on the Yeeloong. Haven't looked at wifi. And USB will be the hard part for me... Hopefully it will be all supported. I need to ask: VGA? I'll come back to that when you respond. USB you should probably adopt from 9pi rather than the Bell Labs
