The propietor of magicbox.pl, which offers powerpc-based boards, had
offered to ship hardware to any and all interested OpenBSD devs; a few
confused me as the contact point, so it looks like there was some
developer interest in that hardware, but I haven't heard anything since.
This was something like a month, month and a half ago; if any dev who
contacted that vendor could give a quick "it worked/he was jerking us
around" response, I'd love to get an update.
I sent a couple of emails - "hey, this sounds like a nice plan, tell
me more" - and never heard back one way or the other. *shrug* I have a
huge pile of things to work on so I'm not going to get bent out of
shape if nothing materializes, but they do look like they could be
useful for some applications.
Those boards are (unless I'm forgetting) based in the IBM405 chipset;
I'd like to see router boards based on the IBM440EBx (again, I may be
misremembering), which is supposed to have on-proc crypto support. The
only board based on that that I've been able to find in an admittedly
short and half-hearted googling was a 5-port w/linux on flash from AMCC.
The routerboards look to be AMCC clones of the 405EP

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
