Has somebody started with a Cortex A9 Port (one core for the start)?

Hi!
has somebody started with a Cortex A9 Port (one core for the start)?
I have an idea who it could be. There is one person who has recently written about threads and multiple cores.
I think its the same for the Tegra. I prefer the Snowballboard with ST Ericssons AP9500 CPU. It has a ARM Mali GPU and other a advantages over for example the panda board.
And there is also a tablet planed with the Snowball-hardware.

I think that the few developers capable of doing a port to new hardware are concentrating on improving those and adding cross platform features like threads and multiple cores. I’ve yet to see any non supported new hardware that offers significant benefits over those currently supported. Though I think the comparative small tweaks necessary to get new versions of the Pi supported is appropriate. If someone currently not working on ports decided to take on a new port then that would be great but I think diverting the limited resources currently available would not be in RISC OS’s best interests short, medium or long term. There will of course sometime in the future be the need for new ports.

The kernel has contained single-core Cortex-A9 support for the past few years.

Supporting CPUs is easy, it’s the stuff surrounding the CPU that’s the hard part.

I don’t know how much middleware is required to pull out PTM traces over JTAG. Edit: Looks like OpenOCD (open source, cheap JTAG hardware) has preliminary A9 JTAG support.We also have Cortex A9 Embedded S5P4418 ARM System On Module
