Fwd: Porting to microblaze architecture?


Hi,

We are developing a low cost low end computer for villages in India. We wish to get NetBSD running on our FPGA
which does not have an MMU. 

We are using the core from Xilinx by name Microblaze. 

Please let us know how to proceed. We came to know from the website that NetBSD ports to non MMU architectures
require more work. 

Does this mean that NetBSD has never been ported to a non MMU architecture? 

Please give us information on how to proceed on the same.

regards,
Girish

Yes, this means that NetBSD has never been ported to a CPU that lacks
an MMU. Which in turn means that the first such port will be much more
difficult than a regular port.
