Yes, I have the kernel booting on the 7785 Solution Engine via JTAG/E10A,
however the port is still relatively sparse and just getting started. I
would not expect it to be fully supported prior to the 2.6.22 timeframe,
however we're aiming to have most of the basic stuff out of the way for
2.6.21. Most of the peripherals have not had any attention yet, but it's
a work in progress.

I've mostly been focusing on the extended-mode TLB, though things like
the SCIF are working fine at the moment. Most of the other peripherals
have not been looked at yet, pending more low-level optimizations for
SH-X2. Given that, SH7722 (SH-MobileR) is in a similar state at the moment.
