Our research group is currently considering porting the Linux kernel to a new architecture, and we're about to document the architecture- specific interfaces an architecture support is supposed to implement.
Questions:
- I suppose developers who have ported the Linux kernel to other architectures before have been going through this stage, too. Is there any help on this subject available, e.g. docs, or (easily- understandable) source code that can serve as a model for porting?
(I already know about the kernel hacker's guide and where to find ports to other architectures.)
- Is there any good reason not to start with linux-1.2.13?
- Any helpful hints or tricks?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Michael -- Email: hohmuth@inf.tu-dresden.de WWW: http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~mh1/
