Dear all,
I have contacted with people in MontaVista couple of weeks back. What they
said at that time was they were on the way to port their Hard Hat Linux onto
a MIPS architecture. I could not receive any updated status from them after
then and they are not as responsive as they used to. Anyone has information
on this regards?
Thanks and regards,
Patrick Wong
