[Debian-coldfire-devel] Current Status?

[Carsten Schlote]

Hi,

I'm going to use the latest Coldfires (with MMU) for our projects. The is a 2.6.10 kernel at least available from FreeScale and some toolchain from CodeSourcery. The 'ltib' tool allows for building some rootfs.

While this is all fine, I'd like to see some distribution with binary packages precompiled. Shouldn't be that difficult, as the M68k ABI is stable for decades, and also works fine with Coldfires.

If the is project is still active, I'd like to contribute over time:
* Basic kernels for MCF 547x/548x/5445x CPUs
  It should be possible to pass platform Ids to the kernel init, so that
  a single image might fit the handfull of MMU enabled Coldfire boards.
* A generic M68k GCC compiler targeted to Coldfire code generation.
* Updates for glibc and native linux threading stuff
* ...

So what is the current status?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With best regards
Carsten Schlote
