Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

For more information about CRIS and ETRAX please see further +below. + +In order to compile this you need a version of gcc with support for the +ETRAX chip family.

It is the CPU +architecture in Axis Communication AB's range of embedded network CPU's, +called ETRAX. The latest CPU is called ETRAX 100LX, where LX stands for +'Linux' because the chip was designed to be a good host for the Linux +operating system. + +The ETRAX 100LX chip +-------------------- + +For reference, plase see the press-release: + +http://www.axis.com/news/us/001101_etrax.htm + +The ETRAX 100LX is a 100 MIPS processor with 8kB cache, MMU, and a very broad +range of built-in interfaces, all with modern scatter/gather DMA. + +Memory interfaces: + + * SRAM + * NOR-flash/ROM + * EDO or page-mode DRAM + * SDRAM + +I/O interfaces: + + * one 10/100 Mbit/s ethernet controller + * four serial-ports (up to 6 Mbit/s) + * two synchronous serial-ports for multimedia codec's etc. + * USB host controller and USB slave + * ATA + * SCSI + * two parallel-ports + * two generic 8-bit ports + + (not all interfaces are available at the same time due to chip pin + multiplexing) + +The previous version of the ETRAX, the ETRAX 100, sits in almost all of +Axis shipping thin-servers like the Axis 2100 web camera or the ETRAX 100 +developer-board. It lacks an MMU so the Linux we run on that is a version +of uClinux (Linux 2.0 without MM-support) ported to the CRIS architecture. +The new Linux 2.4 port has full MM and needs a CPU with an MMU, so it will +not run on the ETRAX 100. + +A version of the Axis developer-board with ETRAX 100LX (running Linux +2.4) is now available.
