# Based on "K's cluttered loft - ARM cross-compiling
howto"
http://www.ailis.de/~k/docs/crosscompiling/python.php
and mmap patch from Yotam Medini yotamm@mellanox.co.il.

I've created a script in attach that does the
cross_compile. Also in the script is the diff from "cvs
diff -u "
I changed the mmapmodule.c to use unsigned int, and
therefor not report OverflowError.

I would like to use python to do automatic tests on
chips in boards that are usually mapped on high address
values like 0xFFF00000.

Right now I can do that.

Needs patch to the tests and documentation, I think.

Hope this helps someone.

Some mmap changes have been fixed to handle 64 bit issues.
Note this patch is really several different patches rolled
into one (mmap enhancements and testing changes, setup.py
changes, plus Makefile changes).

This is 'open' and 'out of date'...

There's been some recent mmap activity, so I'll leave closing this to
someone that understands mmap :)
