Did you ever translate the E7501 into C?
No. But as a first pass you should still be able to skip that step in V2. Romcc generates assembly as an intermediate step.
Since the point primarily is not a good E7501 port but to get skeleton code for other Intel based ports. I don't think it will matter.
Of course maintenance will be a major pain if the code is not translated into C.
Oh, BTW. One of the things I forgot and was one of the motivators of my last romcc release is that I can now pass parameters in and out of romcc compiled code. So I should be able to clean up the handling of BIST checking on the Opteron port. Currently it is an ugly hack in assembly so I don't know if I have pushed that to the public tree or not.
