Has anyone been able to find any hardware based on IBM's 405GP core, and is anyone working on a Linux variant for this core? Jim Potter 45th Parallel Processing ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Most people anxious to get working on this are awaiting non-MMU-hobbled 405GP silicon (i.e. > Rev. 1). In the interim, progress is forging ahead on the 403GC[X] port. Please see: http://www.lcse.umn.edu/~grant/Linux/index.html The 405GP is more or less functionally identical to the 403GCX with the exception being that it has a slew of on-chip peripherals. The porting work should really be focused on adding in support for those on-chip peripherals. The other stuff (exception handling, MMU management, timer code, etc) is mostly there already with the 403 port and should require little, if any, modification to work with the 405GP.

I just received a 405GP system yesterday and expect to start working on it very soon. It is supposed to have a rev 2 405GP, but I haven't verified that yet. -Frank Rowand Montavista Software, Inc. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
