OMAP 3503 (gumstix Overo Earth)

Hi! all,

Does NetBSD support OMAP 3503?

I will buy new board 'gumstix Overo Earth'.

  http://gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=211

Thanks,

I've checkin some preliminary support for it.  Still needs to be  
debugged.

Given the prices, you might want to look at the beagleboard
(www.beagleboard.org) which is the 3530 platform I'm targetting.

Re: Package binaries for NetBSD/arm 4.0 / pkgsrc-2008Q1

Hi,

I've uploaded the rest of the results of a bulk rebuild for
NetBSD/arm 4.0 to

   ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/arm/4.0_2008Q1/

This latest update consisted of 321MB of packages, completing
this for a total of 3.9GB of binary packages, for a total of 4954
packages.

The source tree this was built from was updated 6 Jun 2008, and
the packages were built on a NetBSD/shark system running 4.0.

In the case of ec-fonts-mftraced, I admit to having cheated, and
put a doctored package in place, since there's no MD binaries in
that package.  However, the program which generates the fonts in
this package is floating-point intensive, and therefore not
exactly the best match for a shark with no floating-point unit.
When I had to power the build host off for a local power outage,
it would have had to start from scratch.

This particular build was done natively, the next one will use
distcc, will use as many binary packages as possible from this
build, and will be based on the pkgsrc-2008Q3 branch.

Regards,

- Håvard

Oh! good news.
I expect it of your work.  ;-)

Thumb mode on ARM

Hello,

I wrote down the instructions to get thumb mode userspace working with
NetBSD current:

http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_use_thumb_mode_on_ARM

It basically boils down to upgrading binutils and then building machine
independent parts to thumb and machine dependent parts to ARM with a
script.

Comments and additions are welcome.

Can you plese add a list of NetBSD ports for which this is useful? Some
CPUs don't have thumb mode.

Well, no. 

I'm sorry but I've only used NetBSD evbarm on a OMAP 2420 board.

Thumb support is a practical proposition for any cpu implementing
architecture v5 or later, for CPUs implementing v7, then Thumb2 means it
may well be the option of choice for most applications.

R.

PS. In theory any v4T or later chip can support Thumb mode, but shared
library interworking on that architecture is tricky and the gains are
less obvious given the overhead of ensuring ARM/Thumb interworking in
all procedure calls.
