Yes it serves a great purpose, because just by looking
at snapshot on the screen gives a realistic view.

Thanks. I will check this. Last Friday (my time), I
was able to version up all the source code& with a few
compiler errors was able to build the kernel. The
major change found was change from MIPS-ISA to
MIPS32/64 convention. But still the execution fails. 

In the file malta_intr.c the malta_cal_timer() routine
fails, it seems the RTC is not setting RQTF, the 7th
bit in REGC & the code loops forever. With *some*
logic, I break out of the loop however later on the
PCI bus access fails. The configuration access
(0xCF8-0xCFC) inside PCI detection fails to get the
data & it hangs on the access. 
Because the Malta port is working on your board, I'm
sure there is some problem with my configuration or
something. I think my board configurations is same as
that of yours, its TI MIPS-4KC with Galilio. Any idea
where could be the problem? 

Many thanks again & best regards.
Girish.
