Hello, Linus and folks,
We have ported Linux to the M32R processor, which is a 32-bit RISC embedded
microprocessor of Renesas Technology.
I would like to release a patch information for this m32r port.
Would you merge them to the stock kernel?
# Unfortunately, I have linux-2.4.19 based kernel, not latest one.
Patch information is slightly bigger, so I placed it on our
Linux/M32R homepage.
http://www.linux-m32r.org/public/linux-2.4.19_m32r_20040203.arch-m32r.patch
This new architecture port has already reported at OLS2003.

Thank you.

Nice!

However, I think you best upgrade to 2.4.25 first.
Also, please merge/move arch/m32r/drivers with/to drivers/.
And what about a 2.6 port? :-)

I attended that one, and it looked quite nice!

Geert,
Thank you for your quick reply.

I agree with you. I will try to upgrade it.

We have ported 2.6.0 kernel, and we are still working to add drivers.
But I hope we can release it soon. :-)
The m32r kernel also supports the wonderful features of 2.6 kernel
like other architecture.
- O(1) scheduler support
- Preemtible kernel support
- SMP support
