I'm hoping to get armmp udebs added to the kernel before 3.11 is uploaded (patch posted to debian-kernel but it seems to be lost in the tubes somewhere), at which point I'd like to add an armmp netboot image, per the following patch. The patch is obviously pretty trivial but it is blocked on switching to the 3.11 kernel.
I've tested this (plus the obvious local hacks to use a locally built
kernel) on a Calxeda system and it's functional as far as it goes. It
still needs at least bootloader and kernel selection support figuring
out.
Ian.
