I've done some research about OpenWRT and saw that thew Ubicom32 targets were removed a while back. It was my understanding that IP5K and IP7K didn't have a Memory Management Unit (MMU) and that caused this architecture to be not very maintainable.
The IP8K does have a MMU and in that sense it would behave much like other processors used for other OpenWRT supported devices - fork() shouldn't be an issue since now we could do context switching and the main quirkiness would be how to manage the "threading". In this case - what would be a good way for me to start trying to Add support for this processor to the Cross-Compilation configurations. I'm willing to maintain this target, but I need some guidance to help me get started. >From the GPL code for the MyNet N900 I can see that the latest version they have for the Kernel is 2.6.36 - Is this a good starting point? or should I try to get a newer version Kernel to compile. The GPL code with the BootStrap published by Western Digital compiles cleanly and generates a working image - I was able to modify it and plug a DNS Leak on their implementation. Regards, Luis Garcia
