Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

This document and the related code was written by me

(Cort Dougan, cort@fsmlabs.com) please email me if you have questions,
|
|
comments or corrections.

If you want to help by writing code or testing different hardware please

1. State of Supported Hardware
|
|
|
|
PowerSurge Architecture - tested on UMAX s900, Apple 9600
|
|
The second processor on this machine boots up just fine and
|
|
enters its idle loop. Hopefully a completely working SMP kernel
|
|
on this machine will be done shortly.
|
|
|
|
The code makes the assumption of only two processors. The changes
|
|
necessary to work with any number would not be overly difficult but
|
|
I don't have any machines with >2 processors so it's not high on my
|
|
list of priorities. If anyone else would like do to the work email
|
|
me and I can point out the places that need changed. If you have >2
|
|
processors and don't want to add support yourself let me know and I
|
|
can take a look into it.
|
|
|
|
BeBox
|
|
BeBox support hasn't been added to the 2.1.X kernels from 2.0.X
|
|
but work is being done and SMP support for BeBox is in the works.
|
|
|
|
CHRP
|
|
CHRP SMP works and is fairly solid. It's been tested on the IBM F50
|
|
with 4 processors for quite some time now.
