1# @(#)README 5.3 (Berkeley) 07/29/92 2 3------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 5This Sony RISC workstation support is done as a sub-project in WIDE research 6project. Sony Corp. contributed device drivers and gave us great 7technical supports. Kazumasa Utashiro worked mainly for 4.4-alpha porting 8but that work was based on 4.3-Reno port helped by other project members, 9Tadamichi Matsuyama and Hidetoshi Unno. 10 11This version is just a snapshot of developing system and has many 12unimplemented feature and bugs. I hope this will be more stable in 13final 4.4BSD release. Please contact utashiro@sra.co.jp if you have any 14comment about this code. Bugfix will be greatly appreciated. 15 16------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 17I've been using NWS-3200 laptop machine for development. Only 3200's LCD 18display is supported now. You can use this kernel on 3400 by serial line 19console, but it is not tested well. 20------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 21Config command is not changed to support NEWS because it will be changed 22to support dual processor machine in the future. Diffs are in CONFIG.DIFF 23in /sys/news3400 directory. 24------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 25GCC 2.x has a problem to build library objects. Usually library object is 26made by following way: 27 28 cc -c x.c 29 ld -r -x x.o 30 mv a.out x.o 31 32But using gcc 2.x (at least 2.2.2), some objects made by this way can't be 33linked. ld complains that the object has bad isym. 34------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 35Known bugs: 36 - Floating point doesn't work always. 37 - Display driver is slow. 38 - Serial line driver is slow. 39 - Reboot doesn't work. 40 - NFS doesn't work (it worked before...) 41 - System hangs when ^S is typed from bitmap console. 42------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 43 44 Kazumasa Utashiro <utashiro@sra.co.jp> 45 Software Research Associates, Inc. 46 1-1-1 Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102, Japan 47
