Hi

CPU Plasma is fully MIPS architecture. Now I wonder or I can run on Plasma
CPU uClinux. Anyone try this?

Hi Texblues, I myself have never worked with Plasma so I can just give you info I've read. I never read anything about any one who tried running Linux on Plasma but: As Steve answered under FAQ for Plasma there are some info about it here: http://www.xiptech.com/uclinuxformips.htm Why would you like to run ucLinux today? From what I''ve gathered all Linux 2.6-based kernals can run full Linux even on MMU-less CPU's. Maybe the ucLinux uses less memory if you are tight, but I think that is also mainly a config question.. /Magnus ----- Original Message ----- From: Texbluestexblues at g...> To: Date: Sun Feb 1 19:38:13 CET 2009 Subject: [oc] uClinux on Plasma

uClinux was merged in the Linux 2.6 series. It's still uClinux if it's MMU-less, even if it's from the Mainline Linux tree. Here's a more recent complete version for MIPS no mmu. http://jacksonm80.googlepages.com/linuxonpsp.htm Looks to me like the largest work is the Plasma COP0 implementation, which is just minimal. Most of it seems to live in a hack in the Register File. Cleaning this up seems like a good first step, at the expense of some gates. Other than that, most of the work is like any other (uC)linux port.
