https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198459 --- Comment #7 from Jean-Sebastien Pedron <[email protected]> --- Just to clarify, I only had "drm2" in my mind in my previous comments. The work on powerpc64 happened in the DRM 3.8 update branch on GitHub: https://github.com/dumbbell/freebsd/tree/kms-drm-update-38 Beside enabling the build, I think the only changes was this one: https://github.com/dumbbell/freebsd/commit/7d324a7905741f8713d3236cd39d2e19f590c7d0 The following patch should be sufficient to enable the build of the DRM subsystem on sparc64 (still talking about "drm2"): https://people.freebsd.org/~dumbbell/graphics/drm-sparc64.a.patch On Linux, the driver already works on powerpc, powerpc64 or sparc64 for that matter. So most changes are required outside of it. For instance, powerpc lacks 64bit atomic operations, that's why it's not enabled there. FYI, I plan to commit the DRM 3.8 branch next week. So if you work on this, use that branch, not vanilla HEAD. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
