Hi,
This is just a quick note to encourage anyone who wanted to get FreeBSD
on the Slug (If it has not been done yet). I might not get a chance to
finish the port. Too many projects :)
I am away from my machine ..
Remove these. My Slug does not have a CF slot.
device avila_led
device ata
device atadisk # ATA disk drives
device avila_ata # Gateworks CF/IDE support
A couple of gotchas.
1) The kernel finds the PHY 1 on npe1 instead of npe0.
npe1 is "IXP NPE-C" npe0 is "IXP NPE-B"
I hacked it by swapping the two structs in the npeconfig[] array in
if_npe.c. Now npe1 is NPE-B. I have not actually transmitted anything so
this might be wrong. I'll let the NPE experts decide.
2) The image Id's in the firmware have changed.
In ixp425_npevar.h
#define IXP425_NPE_B_IMAGEID 0x01000200
#define IXP425_NPE_C_IMAGEID 0x02000200
has to change to
#define IXP425_NPE_B_IMAGEID 0x01000201
#define IXP425_NPE_C_IMAGEID 0x02000201
See the file ixp425-fw.README in the NetBSD sources for firmware
instructions.
That is all for now.
