Well actually the !MMU case has probably never really worked on the
Integrator. I never heard of anyone doing that. The only person who ever
mentioned running !MMU tiles (such as the 740 or 94x variants) was Will
Deacon and I don't know if he ever got it anywhere.
However if it is a good testbase for people synthesizing these old non-MMU
ARM cores still and using Linux with them, then it would make sense to
get that into shape and supported I guess? Especially now that the
Integrator machine is soon-ish even multiplatform (famous last words).
So we need some input here ...
Yours,
Linus Walleij
