RE: implementation of software suspend on MIPS. (system log)

["Uhler, Mike" <uhler@mips.com>]

There are various sources of information available on MIPS assembly language programming.  The easiest way to get what you want is to write the code in C, then push it through the compiler to see what instructions it generates.  You can then hack that code to work in your context.

 

Beyond that, Ralf mentioned the book "See MIPS Run Linux", by Dominic Sweetman.  There is also the GNU gas manual and the MIPS SDE Programmer's Guide (see http://www.mips.com/products/resource-library/product-materials/software) or other references on MIPS assembly language programming.

The problem is resume process.

Some page copy and other remaining process wasn't implemented.

The code of resume process should be implemented on arch/xxx/power/swsusp.S

So it should be implemented by assembly.

That's the problem...

I've no idea about complex assembly programming. :-)

Could you recommend any pdf or website?

Excellent, this is looking promising.

Do you still need any help?
