I dug around in it and didn't get smarter.

Patched the syscall tracer to print to console (since I
didn't have a working console that was the best option)
and what happens is askfirst and other compiled binaries
work fine but as soon as I try to run any busybox binary
(such as the shell) it dies with EINTR.

I don't know if busybox is the whole problem, there may be
something wrong with how it gets compiled or something.

Wow!

Overall the Gemini silicon is pretty impressive. Once I get
OpenWRT up on this I will try to benchmark it a bit.

Hm :/

I will keep my fingers off it but I'm interested in any working
patches you have so I can test it.

My tree is pushed out and right now I am just trying to boot
OpenWRT, then the DSA switch in the DIR-685 needs a working
upstream driver, next driver (and last?) would be a driver for the
crypto block. But that is kind of optional so I wait with it
until the rest is working.

Yours,
