Summary: The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU. Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this. Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by the SPE). Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not support double-precision floating point. Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary packages which utilize the SPE. Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this. This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very easy. Test Plan: This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222 (P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities (/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot multiuser.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
