Well, I’ve been busy trying to fix a dead drive due to Seagate’s SD15 BSY problem…. self bricking firmware – imagine if we had that on our phones… I just need to get a new level converter (don’t ask me how I blew mine)…
The last few days I’ve been working on nueKernel2; my work on it is progressing well – it has a progress bar now and displays diagnostic messages during loading, some other interesting things it does is enable features available on ARMv6 (the architecture the ARM1136 is based on) that isn’t enabled by Microsoft – I’ve got the following working so far:
-Branch/Stack Prediction
-Unaligned accesses
In addition some other features I plan on enabling:
-ARMv6 enhanced atomic operations instead of SWP (LDREX/STREX).
-ARMv6 enhanced MMU page coloring and address translation features
…anyway, I’ll keep everyone updated on how this project is going.
