hi pitillo,
hi all,
i'm going to receive from Genesi some nice ARM based stuff (Cortex-A8)
therefore i'd like to understand how enjoy them with CRUX.
About me... I'm a really long-long-standing CRUX user on x86 and later
on I moved to PowerPC and Sparc64. I also did, from scratch, a 2.4
release full 64bit for my old Sun Ultra5.
I also use x86-64 machines but only with MS products.
I'd like to port and support a CRUX ARM flavour for the only Genesi
Efika MX (i.MX515) as I still interested to maintain alive the CRUX PPC
project.
With CRUX PPC we used to have a kind of PPC overlay managed quite
good from a bot on our own server and with a well tuned port/package
manager like our ilenia[1]. There are a good numbers of ports that must
unavoidably be different from the x86 ones.
Anyway there are other deep differences as CRUX PPC supports both 32
and 64bit archs sharing the same ports tree and it has a bit different
toolchain.
I was thinking to start from CRUX PPC ports tree but 'cause there
already is a your full working ARM port I hope we'll help each others to
understand how I can implement my effort with your nice project and
to help you to improve it if i'm capable.
I'd like to have a full working and well tuned CRUX for this ARM
machines i.e. EABI with HardFloat and SIMD Neon enabled.
I still must investigate on Linaro resources about the best toolchain to
choose but maybe i'll be obliged to choose gcc-4.6 and eglibc.
A native build farm, i guess, is also desirable to implement with
distcc .
cheers,
