Hello all,

I have a question about PowerPC 750GX in vxWorks5.5 ,that is does vxWorks5.5.1 support PowerPC 750GX processor?

For my EPICS environment, I decide to use CPCI6190 as EPICS target, LinuxÂas EPICS host, and cross-gcc-2.9.6 from SNS as the cross compiler. TheÂprocessor of CPCI6190 is PowerPC 750GX.

My confusion is that, in document "VxWorks5.5 for PowerPC Architecture Supplement",it shows as follows, which says PowerPC 750GX does not belong to PPC604.

Not really true. The document does not say that the 750GX is not part of the PPC604 architecture. It doesn't mention the 750GX at all, which is understandable, as the 750GX did not exist when VxWorks 5.5 came out.

While in document "vxworks architecture supplement 6.7", it shows as follows, which says PowerPC 750GX belongs to PPC604.

Â

So, I am not sure if PPC604 in vxWorks5.5Âincludes PowerPC 750GX. Isn't theÂ"PPC604" in vxWorks5.5 and vxWorks6.7 the same?ÂIn my EPICS environment, can I choose CPCI6190 board?

So, your question boils down to: Is anyone sucessfully running VxWorks 5.5 on a PPC 740 GX? You might consider asking that question on a VxWorks mailing list - these guys have more experience with the variety of CPUs and VxWorks releases.

The other question that comes to mind: Do you have the VxWorks 5.5 BSP for the CPCI6190 board?
If yes: the board is obviously supported.
If no: Which BSP are you planning to use for the CPCI6190?

Good luck,
Ralph
