This project was started in those days when the only open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were Lites and *************** *** 33,110 **** is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is not publicly available. One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts ! (besides the code, of course ;) is ! support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and binutils, which allowed quick ! building of a cross-tools environment for development.
! Later on HP decided to sponsor a ! Linux port to PA-RISC ! machines which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation ! release, even though they target a different class of 9000 machines.

! Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a ! Linux port to the PA-RISC ! family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation ! being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000 ! machines back then. !
! !+ Although there have been no official releases of this port yet, + the supported systems boot to multi-user and full snapshots are made + periodically. +
!! Currently, no storage devices are supported, so the only way to run this ! port is in a diskless environment. !
+
!
!
! The list of supported hardware below is not meant to be exhaustive. ! Hardware is needed for developers, to further help development and testing. ! Please see our "Wanted List" (contact mickey). +
!!
!
! The following systems may eventually work: !

! This list is not meant to be exhaustive either, but sums up the most commonly ! encountered devices on hppa machines. !
! Most of the following documents have been released by Hewlett-Packard for ! the PA-RISC Linux project. !

! cd /usr/src ! sudo make TARGET=hppa cross-tools !

! One will have a boot.lif

! That image may include diskless kernel image if one was available

! Kernel cross-build process is similar to the one for boot, consult

+! The boot.lif file contains both a bootloader and a kernel. ! To boot it from the network, a server machine has to be setup so as to ! let the hppa machine retrieve it:

+ The OpenBSD source tree provides some cross-compilation facilities. + First, a set of hppa cross tools (cross compiler, cross binutils, etc) must + be created: +
+ # cd /usr/src + # make TARGET=hppa cross-includes cross-binutils cross-gcc ++ This will build and install the various utilities in /usr/cross/hppa. + Note that this step must be run as root, or using + sudo. + + + +
+
+ mkboot is the only specific host tool needed for the boot.lif build. +
+ $ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/hppa/stand/mkboot + $ MACHINE=hppa make obj depend all ++
+ The kernel can be configured as usual, and then built using the cross-tools. +
