So, IIUC, the kernel fbdev module is expecting "|of-display.0"| from
modern OF compatible firmware but Apple OF is providing
|"||of-display"|. Am I on track or off?

Hi.
Yes, I have it installed been using it the last few years.
Unfortunately, the Fienix repo is presently broken so no software can be
updated or installed. Trying to fix it with Debian repos temporarily
usually ruins it so be good when the repo is working again. :-)

When I read of ppc64le or ppc64el as it's put, I interpret that with my
own play on letters, ppc64intel. ;-)
The patch is being reverted in Debian's kernel package now.
Yes, I just read that before. Thanks for info.

Having read the latest about GCC compile still crashing reveals there is
still some issue. Not exactly in the same spot. But soon after that

a command interface isn't suited for step debugging and makes it
awkward. If anyone uses it directly for real debugging.

of a slowdown? I forgot to mention it and
it would be known, but developers of TenFourFox, ArticFox and SeaLion
would know about these issues. I don't know how they solved them but I
do know TFF has a bit of ASM optimizations for endian issues.

Good luck! GPT :-D
Would you like help inspecting the specific value at `addr=2014643200`
or guidance on how to reproduce the crash more minimally?
Yes. Swap it around. :-)

Hi guys.
So I this is really a follow up to the "What are the current available
browser options for debian-ppc64?" thread where it there was a technical
discussion on why Firefox was crashing which ended up being rather
anti-climatic. But I wanted to check myself since I'm aware the last few
ince code these days relies on CPU
specific byte order and clean portable code is a relic of the past, such
compiler dependent features are looking good to me.

Another possibility is using the Mac method with a bootable volume you
can chose from the GUI boot menu. But I'm not aware of anyone coding a
way for Linux to do that. Although I had expected it to be used before I
found how PPC Linux boots on a Mac.

It does have the device tree support now. But that really only helps a

reference routines need to swap on the spot. That's what I'm thinking.
If the endian issues are isolated to this table and wasm2c knows what's
in it this will be a lot easier to fix. :-)

ight on your desktop. One caveat is
downloads will go to the mounted volume. But if you have a shared home
setup it will make it easier. It's possible it could be automated with a
nice desktop icon and script or even package, but I was to lazy to do
that yet. :-D
