It's been a while since my last post.
I've been busy with other cool projects and maybe I'll post something about them.

Today I've built a new toolchain for the 68000 with gcc 4.7.2 and a new kernel based on the latest git sources from git.ketnel.org.

And here is the boot log:

It still amazes me everytime I see this "ice age" cpu booting up so gracefully such a shinny new kernel!


As promissed I have started publishing documentation at: http://code.google.com/p/m68k
(schematics can be found at the download section)


I plan to add the toolchain and uClinux-dist sources soon.
