That would be an interesting project. I did a Tundra II QNX driver for one of our SBCs with an Intel processor, but again PPC is not a big issue here.
What would be the interest in the community for such a development?
I need to justify everything that I work on, as I am fully loaded most of the year.
However, it's an interesting thought...
Regards
Bob

Hi
For you interest, I have implemented a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) driver for one of our products for a French company over 1 year ago. FreeBSD is a nice stable platform, to develop with.
There are many Intel based VME and cPCI system Single Board Computers in the market place. It would be nice if FreeBSD were also compatible with Power PC, then more military suppliers might look at this as an option.
Yes, one thing we lack is a VME bus driver for the Tundra I/II chipset. VME is still popular in military and industrial control applications.
