Hi!
I have recently acquired a Mimas v2 board which allows to run the
open source CPU J-Core [1] in an FPGA. J-Core is an open source reimplementation of the SuperH architecture which is currently
present as "sh4" in Debian.
This year, the J-Core team plans to release the J-3 CPU which is
an open source reimplementation of the SH-3 CPU. Since Debian
has already partial support for SH-3 (dpkg, openssl, toolchain),
it would be nice to have "sh3" added to the list of architectures
in the glibc package the same way "nios2" was added in [2].
This way, Helmut Grohne can enable "sh3" for rebootstrap and
we see where can go from there to run Debian on J-Core.
Thanks,
Adrian
