I want to port a threads package that does its own preemption (thus
context switching) to the mips. I glanced through the binders dec
enclosed with our 3100s but didn't notice any documentation that would
help me. I've done other ports of these sort of things before so I
know on most architectures its not a big deal: save the pc and
relevant context, etc. So I'm looking for someone else port of a
similar type package so I can see what needs to be done and do it for
my package or a pointer to the dec documentation where I can get the
goods. Thanks.
