Now that I've 5800+ of absorbing reading to work through, I'll
take my leave on Usenet "faraday" or two.

Cue : those identified as anklebiters to whinge on about this.

Be fair though. Caused by Brian Reay getting people arrested who stood their
ground against
him in uk.radio.amateur. I seem to remember another one that same year?

Rightly or wrongly Gareth said that Brian Reay was directly responsible for
the suicide
of that fine upstanding policeman.

Weather or not Gareth is sincere as he claims, his alleged peccadiloes seem
trivial compared to getting someone arrested for posting on Usenet.

ARM has a developer portal - no login or click-through required. They're
gradually moving most of the ARMv8 public documentation to that portal.

https://developer.arm.com/

Search for DDI0487A or "ARM Architecture Reference Manual" , then click the "Download PDF" link.
Search for IHI0069 for the Interrupt Controller documentation
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ihi0069/c
Search for SMMU for the IOMMU documentation
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ihi0062/b/arm-system-memory-m anagement-unit-architecture-specification

Indeed, there is a lot of satisfaction (and money) in getting a project
back on track after it has been messed up by someone else. Of course, it
is better if a project isn't messed up in the first place but some
people just don't seem to have the knack of running a project.

The downside of fixing other people's projects is often that you can
find you are traveling too much, which becomes a bind as time goes on. I
tired of traveling too much- at least on business, which is quite
different to traveling for pleasure.

In your desperation to want to distress me by taking this from the
raspberry pi NG and cross posting to other groups, especially ura which
you know that I read, you forget that I am quite happy for what I
think is a miscarriage of justice to be published.

However, the number of times that you do post and repost this matter
suggests
very strongly that you have a screw loose.

As to the matter itself, I have discussed this at length on Usenet
but am quite happy to discuss it again should anybody ask of me.
