I recently finished the support for the MicroTik RouterBOARD RB600A by giving OpenBSD/socppc a miniroot image that one can simply write to Compact Flash and stick onto the board. Detailed instructions have been added to INSTALL.socppc. All essential hardware on the board is now supported (with lots of contributions from dms@). While the board has some limitations (no battery-powered clock, Compact Flash only supports PIO) I quite like the board, and it has been serving as my firewall at home for a couple of months now.
I'm interested in extended support for more SoC's in the Freescale PowerQUICC II Pro range. Especially the MPC8308 and MPC8377 look interesting. If anybody is interested and willing to donate a development board or a hackable product based on these chips, please contact me. To guarantee the availability of releases and snapshots, Theo really needs a machine. Since the Thecus N1200 seems to be no longer available, it would be nice (pretty much essential) we get him a RB600 board with indoor case and 110V power supply. There is a list of distributors on http://www.routerboard.com; best thing is probably to order from the online shop of the Canadian distributor and have them ship directly to Theo. Thanks, Mark
