Betreff: Re: Building rtems-libbsd for pc686
[...]
The code worked on the pc at one point.
What is it getting from bios.h?
My first cut at it would be to import that file. Long term, we would
probably
be better off if the PC BSP used more infrastructure from FreeBSD. The
current BSP
is marginally supporting non-legacy PCs.
The i386 support is in heavy bit rot mode and needs a proper maintainer
from my point of view.
Yeah, we will probably be more active in this regard next year.
My hope would be that we will find some time to also contribute to the
x86_64-BSP, but who knows?
What is the reason to keep the i386 BSP alive? In general Linux and
FreeBSD cuts down the legacy support for i386 step by step. They are
only interested in x86_64.
