FreeMiNT at ColdFire EVBs
2016-10-31:
An new exciting development was finished regarding FreeMiNT on Freescales ColdFire 547x/548x Evaluation Boards

As the well known Atari developer Vincent Rivière announced, at the new freemint mailinglist , mintv4e.prg now runs perfectly on ColdFire Evaluation Boards. With these boards there is another hardware plattform aside the FireBee itselve, which can run FreeMiNT for ColdFire natively. Using EmuTOS from 20160606 or later, preferably the soon upcoming 0.9.7 version, you can boot the EVBs from dBug, TFTP servers or directly (auto-boot) from Bas_gcc. Note that if you want networking in MiNT, you'll need BaS_gcc in flash.

Bas_gcc is used at the FireBee as well, and maintained for some years now by Markus Fröschle who ported it to the ColdFire 547x/548x EVBs like the FEC.XIF network driver.

By the use of EmuTOS Operating System as basis for FreeMiNT, the Evaluationboards offer as well the following features: RS-232 console for text I/O (no graphics). CompactFlash card for mass storage. 14 MB ST-RAM + 46 MB FastRAM. Optional PS/2 keyboard with Eiffel/CAN adapter

The project can be considered as "finished" and can be downloaded from the daily trunk archive.

anymore updates on progress yet ?

The documentation is really lacking here. There is no documentation as to additions. FAQ is old, README is old.

Bjarne, which Readme, and which FAQ are you talking about?
