ARM multiprocessor support

Nov 06, 2014 ~ Written by martin
ARM multiprocessor support Those following the source-changes mailing list closely may have noticed several evbarm kernels getting \"options MULTIPROCESSOR\" in the last few days. This is due to those configurations now running properly in SMP mode, thanks to work mostly done by Matt Thomas and Nick Hudson. The list of supported multiprocessor boards currently is: Ba [...]

An Internet-Ready OS From Scratch in ...

Aug 08, 2014 ~ Written by antti kantee
An Internet-Ready OS From Scratch in a Week — Rump Kernels on Bare Metal The most time-consuming part of operating system development is obtaining enough drivers to enable the OS to run real applications which interact with the real world. NetBSD\'s rump kernels allow reducing that time to almost zero, for example for developing special-purpose operating systems for the cloud and embedded IoT devices. This arti [...]

Unbloating the VAX install CD

Jun 08, 2014 ~ Written by martin
A recent discussion on the port-vax mailing list brought a problem with the default installation method (when booting from CD, which typically is the easiest way) to my attention: it would not work on machines with 16 MB RAM or less. So, can we do better? Looking at the size of a GENERIC kernel: text data bss dec hex file [...]

The playstation2 port is back

Mar 31, 2014 ~ Written by martin
In 2009 the playstation2 port was removed from the NetBSD sources, since it had not been compilable for months and no modern enough compiler was available. Due to a strange series of events the code changes needed to support the (slightly unusual) MIPS CPU used in the playstation2 had never been merged into gcc nor binutils mainline. Only re [...]

First ports switched to gcc 4.8

Mar 06, 2014 ~ Written by martin
After several months of preparation, the first ports (hppa, sparc and sparc64) have switched their compiler to gcc version 4.8 today. Amd64 and i386 should follow soon. Work is ongoing to bring this modern toolchain to all other ports too (most of them already work, but some more testing will be done). If you want to try it, just add (Read [...]

A cyclic trend in operating systems is moving things in and out of the kernel for better performance. Currently, the pendulum is swinging in the direction of userspace being the locus of high performance. The anykernel architecture of NetBSD ensures that the same kernel drivers work in a monolithic kernel, userspace and beyond. One of thos [...]
