Hi All, Back in February I sent an email to this list about potentially getting a Debian ports Wii U SMP build made. Just wanted to revisit it since the conversation fizzled out. A non-SMP build of Debian will boot and run on the Wii U, but there’s a lot more performance you can get out of the system if you can utilize all three cores. A separate Debian ports build is needed because atomic locking doesn’t work properly on the Wii U’s Espresso CPU:
