Yeap, Baikal-T1 SoC does support EVA since based on P5600 does.
Moreover the feature is enabled in my CSP code by default, but
the segments mapping is initialized to fully match the legacy
MIPS address space layout.
Regarding the boards with Baikal-T1 to purchase. It's available and
demonstrated on the company site:
https://www.baikalelectronics.com/products/339/
Currently a single retailer selling the item is Russian-based:
https://www.chipdip.ru/product/bfk3.1?from=suggest_product
(Alas the site doesn't have an English version, so please use the
Goog-xlate.)
If for some reason you still won't be able to purchase it from there
please send me an email directly.
(Today I've got a suspicious message on my corporate inbox from a guy
- Yunqiang Su with email domain @cipunited.com, who stated that CIP
United wants to purchase one or more of them for you and requested to
give them the company sells contacts. I didn't response, because the
message structure looked more like a spam, than an official request.
It was also strange not to see you in CC.)
Regarding the Baikal-T1 boards being finally supported in the kernel.
I am still working on it. There are several more SoC-device drivers
to fix and I'll be ready to submit the CSP/BSP code to the MIPS arch
subsystem.
