MMU-less FreeBSD

2001-12-13 Thread Steve Price
As a rough order of magnitude how hard would it be to port FreeBSD to an architecture (Motorola Coldfire) that doesn't have an MMU? I see some words on their site that the NetBSD folks might be working on some archs that require this. I got my hands on a board similar to the one in the NetTel

What are the secrets to doing synchronous IO with FreeBSD? I have this application that I'm writing where I need to play a WAV file but I need to make sure all the bits are sent on there way before I move on. The WAV file is being played through a controller that I have to toggle some bits via

Where does one look in the source for the definition of what each of the ints in sigjmp_buf._sjb (or jmp_buf._jb for that matter) contain? The only occurrences of it (according to grep(1)) are in the header file machine/setjmp.h. I also looked into src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c and didn't see
