RE: RTEMSfor MVME5500

["Elder Matias" <Elder.Matias@lightsource.ca>]

Kristi/Kiman,

At CLS we have been using RTEMS targeting single board computer with the
Motorola 68360 processor for about 4 years now.  The system we use are
in the SIL MicroStep controllers as well as standalone single board
computers mostly for RS-232 interfaces (http://www.sil.sk.ca/).  We gave
generally found the RTEMS/EPICS combination very robust.

We have done some prototypes targeting Dell PowerEdge Server hardware
(Intel Pentium 4 processors) but have not deployed any systems based on
this work.

We don't use any Motorola cards, but you are welcome to what we have if
you find it helpful.

Hello Kiman,

I'm interested in this as well, so let me know what you find out as we
are beginning
to gear up at BESSY for RTEMS. We plan to use the mv5500, mv2100 and
mv162 processors.
First, I'll try what Kate suggested and see if I can port Till's mv167
BSP for RTEMS
to the mv162.

One of our goals is to get the CAN software running under EPICS R3.14.6
and RTEMS for
these processors. We have an mv2400 cpu as well, but we don't have plans
to build the
RTEMS BSP for this cpu if it is not already available.

 - Regards,
       Kristi

 Hello Kate,



Anyone have to tried compile RTEMS for MVME5500?

Our Control staffs who Mr OH is recently trying to compile RTEM for
MVME5500.

But he reported to me some compile error messages



Used : RTEMS-4.6.0pre1

      Gcc3.2.1



He fallowed form your README files;

When are you going to release the BSP source code for MVME5500?



>2) Please copy the rtems5500-cexp.bin, rtems5500-cexp.sym and st.sys

Please could you send to me 3 of binary files for booting from MVME5500.
