Once it's loaded into ramfs, then XIP is unnecessary.
As far as I was aware, that's not true. Regardless of filesystem (ramfs or
other), if XIP isn't enabled then an *extra* copy of the executable will get
loaded into RAM when it's run.
That is _exactly_ what I have right now. Even if
The patches are arch-independent. Of course the toolchain has
to support PIC etc.
Which it does not up till now:(. (AFAIK gcc 4 in in the pipe and maybe
this update will enable fully PIC...)
Thanks

With a decently constructed MMU (cache after MMU viewed from the CPU, as
done with all X86 CPUS, AFAIK), only DMA and SMP issues should make
cache flush necessary, I have no idea, how the 68 K MMU and cache are
constructed.

If you try to use -a on a file that happens to be missing a new line at the
end of file, the appended text will end up being appended to the last line
instead of being a line all by itself.
The code in question is a little wonky, but it was chosen due to its
portability across crappy non-GNU syste
The genromfs utility (which is used to generate ROMFS images) is a little
funky when it comes to /dev. This script will parse a normal device table
and create the funky files that genromfs keys off of.

These are a few fixes from upstream kconfig to get ncurses/gettext support
rolling on non-Linux systems (like Darwin or uClibc w/out locale).

How long does a 'make romfs' take on your system? It's usually only a second
on mine, so it doesn't bother me.

When I'm building up images, I use "make image" all the time. It's fast, and
great when I'm just making some minor changes in the romfs/ directory. When
I'm testing things out, I just edit scripts (like /e
