ev64260 port under evbppc works fine on the marvell evaluation card.
We have also ported it to other 64260 based boards with little effort.
The GT driver is a bit buggy but usable. Heck, the chip itself is a bit
buggy...
Marvell has lots and lots of documentation but you have to sign an NDA
to get access to it. A real bummer yes, but once you do have access they
have chip docs, sample code, and (gasp) errata listed right there for =
all
to see.
Getting a login may take a couple of days. Be patient and persistent.
They watermark all the docs, so if you pass them around, they'll know
very well where they came from. So don't.

Subject: Support for Marvell Discovery II MV6436x System Controller?



As part of an effort to get NetBSD running on the Pegasos platform using =

non-OpenFirmware drivers, I am investigating the MV6436x System=20
Controller.=20
Apparently there is currently no support for MV6436x=20
(http://www.marvell.org/products/communication/discoveryII/MV64360.jsp) =
in=20
NetBSD-current.

There is some code suporting the MV64260 (gt driver) in=20
sys/dev/marvell/... and sys/arch/evbppc/ev64260...
Does anyone know the state/quality of the MV64260 code? Would it be a =
good=20
starting point for extending the gt driver with support for the MV6436x.

Any docs available for the MV6436x somewhere?

Regards
Palle Lyckegaard
