Leon is LGPL sparc v8 processor that often (including wd mybook I'm playing with) accompany arm cpu as a coprocessor for heavy integer or fp operations like ipsec.
see http://www.leox.org/about.html
WD MyBook use LEON to handle a power button and help NIC. I don't need the power button and have to initialize NIC very early on boot - so I compile out of kernel both power button and Leon depended NIC driver and looking for guidelines how to load Leon with something useful. _________________ *There will come soft rains ... |
