it's at least 5 years out of production. I couldn't find a used one on
ebay and other secondary markets just now, nor when I tried 4 years
ago. It dates from the initial project/mips2 merge 8 years ago, and
hasn't been updated since.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
It came into the tree with the project/mips merge 8 years ago. At the
time, it was hard to find a board with enough RAM to run. Now FreeBSD
requires at least 2x the RAM it did then. No changes have happened to
this port apart from API churn and license tagging since then. It ran
OK at the time it was committed, but no sightings in the wild have
happened since shortly after it was committed.
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Adm5120_devices lists a bunch of
boards that were available 5 years ago (but are no longer
available). The beefiest one had only 64MB of RAM which is too
small. The Mirktik RB1xx never had more than 32MB.
Also remove confusing QEMU config file that never ever worked in QEMU
for mips. MALTA is used for that. Another of my past mistakes, false
starts that never amounted to anything.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
never got better. It never worked on real hardware and is still mostly
stubs after 8 years when I added it. It has had no real update in that
time apart from API churn. It was added just so it didn't get lost in
the project/mips merge, but maybe it should have been lost as nothing
has come of it. It is time to give up the ghost on this one.

This compilation issue has been found thanks to freebsd-wifi-build:
- gpioiic requires "gpio_if.h", so "device gpio" is mandatory
- rtl8366rb works over MDIO interface, so "device mdio" is mandatory
Compilation is checked on FreeBSD 12-CURRENT machine.
The driver is functional on both BHND Wi-Fi adapters and MIPS SoCs, but
does not currently include support for features not required by bwn(4),
including GPIO interrupt handling.

Disable building LINT-VIMAGE with VIMAGE being default.
This should give it a lot more exposure in the run-up to 12 to help

This patch adds missing hints for ath0 (eepromaddr) and GPIO (mask & leds).
ath0 doesn't work without eeprom hints, so this commit should make wifi

GPIO mask is required if you want to use gpiobus and GPIO pins on your

This commit adds mask for gpiobus and allow you to turn off/on leds via

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

This adds support for EARLY_PRINTF via the CFE console; the aim is to
provide a fix for the otherwise cyclic dependency between PMU discovery
and console printf/DELAY:
- We need to parse the bhnd(4) core table to determine the address (and
type) of the PMU/PLL registers and calculate the CPU clock frequency.
- The core table parsing code will emit a printf() if a parse error is
hit.
- Safely calling printf() without EARLY_PRINTF requires a working
DELAY+cninit, which means we need the PMU.
Errors in core table parsing shouldn't happen, but lack of EARLY_PRINTF
makes debugging more difficult.

the required FDT_DTS_FILE makeoption; or
1.2. simply supply FDT_DTS_FILE="xx.dts" on the command line when building

Of course, the user can also create a completely new kernel config to
match the desired board and include the SoC kernel config from within
it.
If required, edit the MEDIATEK config file, which includes optional
drivers and comment out the unneeded ones.
2.1. this would only make sense if kernel size is a concern. Even if we
build the kernel with all drivers, if we lzma it and package it as a uImage,
its size is still around 1.1MiB.

CPU_MIPSxxxxKC is limiting and possibly misleading as it implies the
