Setting up FreeBSD/arm on IQ31244/IQ80321:
To compile a kernel, you first need to build cross-compile tools :
First, reate the following directories into the destination directory :
mkdir -p usr/bin
mdkir -p usr/lib                  
mkdir -p usr/include                 
mkdir -p usr/share/man/man1                                                     
mkdir -p usr/share/info                                                         
mkdir -p usr/libdata/ldscripts 
mkdir -p usr/libexec
go in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc, and do :
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross clean depend all
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross DESTDIR=/usr/cross install
Then go in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils, and do :
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross clean depend all
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TOOLS_PREFIX=/usr/cross DESTDIR=/usr/cross install
You should get what is needed to cross-compile a kernel.
You need to set the following environment varibles for cross-compiling :
export CC=/usr/cross/usr/bin/gcc
export AS=/usr/cross/usr/bin/as
export NM=/usr/cross/usr/bin/nm
export RANLIB=/usr/cross/usr/bin/ranlib
export LD=/usr/cross/usr/bin/ld
export OBJCOPY=/usr/cross/usr/bin/objcopy
export SIZE=/usr/cross/usr/bin/size
export MACHINE=arm
export MACHINE_ARCH=arm
Then you can compile the kernel the usual way, ie :
cd /sys/arm/conf
config IQ31244
cd ../compile/IQ31244 && make depend all

To boot the resulting kernel, I configured a BOOTP and a TFTP server, asked
RedBoot to use BOOTP, and then use the following little script to automatically
boot the kernel :
load -b 0x00200000 kernel
go

To go multiuser, a full world is needed too.
To obtain one, simply go to /usr/src and do :
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale buildworld
make TARGET_ARCH=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=xscale DESTDIR=/path/to/arm/root installworld

/!\ Optimisation flags for userland seems to work now, but use with caution.

Then just export /path/to/arm/root via NFS, and setup your BOOTP server to use
that as a NFS root
Populate /path/to/arm/root/etc as well with your conf files.

The arm board should then be able to boot multiuser, with a serial console.
