Now that the cat is out of the bag on the ARM port, it's time to see what
hardware platforms we can try running on. Is anyone working on, or
interested in working on, drivers for some of the prevalent ARM platforms?
I'm noting that 88F6281 fairly commonly found and inexpensive (QNAP,
SheevaPlug, etc). QNAP has expressed interest in supporting a porting
project, so now would be a good time to think about making sure we have core
driver support. It'd be nice if we knew what might be in the pipeline from
this Sun/NEC collaboration (hint hint).
The question is, are the companies involved willing to release the
needed specs (or are they already available online)? While we could
probably port any equivalent drivers from one of the BSD variants
(where those drivers exist), having the specs would be better.

140 pages worth of hardware manual. Not sure whether it is enough or
not though. I do not have the actual hardware...

I'm in contact with Marvell and have applied for their "extranet". I'll
pass along more details on detailed spec availability for these
processors as I come across it.
