Inferno

Inferno

Limited support for the Marvell Kirkwood (SheevaPlug) is available for Inferno. The code is available through the google code project inferno-kirkwood.

Inferno is a modern operating system maintained by Vita Nuova. Read the Inferno page at wikipedia for more information.

At the time of writing, Inferno boots and can run applications. There is no easy to use installers for end-users. Also not all hardware is supported yet.

Working:

  • clock/interrupts, rtc, efuse, gpio
  • uart
  • ethernet
  • crypto hardware, though not enabled and needs work

Not working:

  • sdio, for sd memory cards. Reading/writing for some cards works, but not reliable.
  • usb
  • sata (but no connector on Sheevaplug anyway)
  • nand flash, code exists but it is not enough
