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..

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.

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.
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 |
