For some reason which I coudn't figure it out FireTOS fails to boot randomly when we turn on the MMU before the IDE ports are initialized (FireTOS doesn't detect the IDE devices). This is fixed when we turn on the MMU after the IDE initialization. CodeWarrior BaS does it this way too.
BaS_gcc
FireBee gcc-based firmware
This is BaS_gcc, an alternative Firmware for the FireBee.
What the heck is the FireBee? An ATARI Falcon clone using the ColdFire m5474 µC and an FPGA. See here: http://firebee.org
The original FireBee distribution comes with "original" BaS - a minimal fimware coded in C and assembler using the FreeScale CodeWarrior development environment. Original BaS implements the minimal functionality to boot up FireTOS (which is a patched original Falcon TOS).
The FireBee can also run EmuTOS (see http://emutos.sourceforge.net), a completely free and open source TOS. Contrary to FireTOS (that contains an m68k emulation to emulate a "traditional" m68k chip), EmuTOS is available as native ColdFire implementation. The FireBee can also run FreeMiNT (a preemptive multitasking extension to TOS).
BaS_gcc aims to fully support native EmuTOS + native FreeMiNT on the FireBee.
