This processor architecture is the first 32-bit ancestor of a series |
| |
of extremely bizzare 8 and 16 bit processors by Hitachi. It has a |
| |
very strange instruction set and MMU, and developers find it quite a |
| |
challenge to map their knowledge of Unix low-level ideas to the |
| |
processor architecture. |

| Development is currently pretty active. |
Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. |

|
| Currently there is a snapshot that can install the architecture |
|
| (using a miniroot), and which is self-hosting. There |
|
| are still many bugs to fix. |
