# 255643 17-Sep-2013 nwhitehorn

Merge in support for PAPR-compliant (Power Architecture Platform
Requirements) systems from the projects/pseries branch. This in principle
includes all IBM POWER hardware released in the last 15 years with the
exception of POWER3-based systems when run in 64-bit mode. The main
development target, however, has been the PAPR logical partition support
that is the default target in KVM on POWER and QEMU -- mileage may vary
on actual hardware at present. Much of the heavy lifting here was done
by Andreas Tobler.

# 239478 21-Aug-2012 adrian

Initial support for running FreeBSD on the Nintendo Wii. We're able to
reach single user mode using a memory disk device as the file system.

This port includes the framebuffer driver, the PIC driver, a platform
driver and the GPIO driver. The IPC driver (to talk to IOS kernels) is
not yet written but there's a placeholder for it.

There are still some MMU problems and to get a working system you need to
patch locore32.S. Since we haven't found the best way yet to address that
problem, we're not committing those changes yet. The problem is related to
the different BAT layout on the Wii and to the fact that the Homebrew
loader doesn't clean up the special registers (including the 8 BATs)
before passing control to us.

You'll need a Wii with Homebrew loader and a TV that can do NTSC (for now).

# 236141 27-May-2012 raj

Let us manage differences of Book-E PowerPC variations i.e. vendor /
implementation specific vs. the common architecture definition.

Bring PPC4XX defines (PSL, SPR, TLB). Note the new definitions under
BOOKE_PPC4XX are not used in the code yet.

This change set is not supposed to affect existing E500 support, it's just
another reorg step before bringing support for E500mc, E5500 and PPC465.

# 217044 06-Jan-2011 nwhitehorn

Import support for the Sony Playstation 3 using the OtherOS feature
available on firmwares 3.15 and earlier.

Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.

Special thanks to Peter Grehan for providing the hardware that made this
port possible, and thanks to Geoff Levand of Sony Computer Entertainment
for advice on the LV1 hypervisor.


# 214603 31-Oct-2010 nwhitehorn

Add a driver for the Apple Uninorth AGP host bridge found in all PowerPC
Macintoshes with an AGP bus.


# 210677 31-Jul-2010 nwhitehorn

Add support for the IBM Full-System Simulator (Mambo). This code has been
developed against the 970 and Cell simulators.


# 209975 13-Jul-2010 nwhitehorn

MFppc64:

Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.


# 209910 11-Jul-2010 raj

Sort platform options.


# 176771 03-Mar-2008 raj

Initial support for Freescale PowerQUICC III MPC85xx system-on-chip family.

The PQ3 is a high performance integrated communications processing system
based on the e500 core, which is an embedded RISC processor that implements
the 32-bit Book E definition of the PowerPC architecture. For details refer
to: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8555E

This port was tested and successfully run on the following members of the PQ3
family: MPC8533, MPC8541, MPC8548, MPC8555.

The following major integrated peripherals are supported:

* On-chip peripherals bus
* OpenPIC interrupt controller
* UART
* Ethernet (TSEC)
* Host/PCI bridge
* QUICC engine (SCC functionality)

This commit brings the main functionality and will be followed by individual
drivers that are logically separate from this base.

# 176493 23-Feb-2008 marcel

Hook-up the FPU emulator. It's optional upon FPU_EMU.


# 174632 15-Dec-2007 marcel

Rename OEA to AIM. The former means nothing as it applies to all
processors (it's the PowerPC Operating Environment Architecture).
AIM designates the processors made by the Apple-IBM-Motorola
alliance and those we typically support.

While here, remove the NetBSD option IPKDB. It's not an option
used by us. Also, PPC_HAVE_FPU is not used by us either. Remove
that too.

Options that go into homonymous headers shouldn't specify the header name.

# 110383 05-Feb-2003 benno

Not all cpus are MPC750s. Replace the MPC750 cpu option with OEA. This
stands for Operating Environment Architecture and is the specification that
all of the MPC6xx, MPC7xx, MPC7xxx and IBM7xx CPUs adhere to.


# 107043 18-Nov-2002 jmallett

Move SHOW_BUSYBUFS and PANIC_REBOOT_WAIT_TIME into the MI options file, since
MI code uses them, and every platform provides them (except x86_64 whose
options file was lacking one).

psim device support

# 99663 09-Jul-2002 benno

Driver for the Apple UniNorth Host-PCI bridge.

This is in a PowerMac-specific subdirectory as it is hoped that we will support
more than just the PowerMac platform.


# 81077 02-Aug-2001 peter

Add a cosmetic comment.


# 78388 17-Jun-2001 benno

The final commit for the first phase of PowerPC support.

This adds the config stuff needed to build kernels.
