SPARC covers at least half a dozen different sub-arches, each with a different MMU. sun4u (miscalled sparc64 in linux -- sparc64 is a different arch from fujitsu linux doesn't support) is the most likely to be of interest, followed by sun4m (the only remaing 32 bit sparc architecture Debian supports). Unfortunatly, I can't answer your question, I never got into that kind of detail. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option.

SPARC Context Id?
Hi All, I'm a newbie for SPARC. I'm not sure the purpose of the 13-bit context identifier in SPARC translation table entries. I searched through the SPARC architecture manual and the web but found no enough details regarding this identifier. PS: is there any other SPARC reference we (OS developers) can count on beyond that architecture manual? Thanks in advance!

The SPARC Context Id ?
Hi, I'm a kernel developer as well as a newbie to SPARC. I'm not quite sure the purpose of the 13-bit context identifier in SPARC translation table entries. I searched through the SPARC architecture manual and the web but found no enough details. P.S. is there any other public references that we can count on beyond this architecture manual?
