Re: Industry Pack support under RTEMS available?

[Marty Kraimer <mrk@aps.anl.gov>]

Sorry but I am not the person to resolve the problem since I do not 
currently have an RTEMS test environment.

I will say that what we name devLib should probably have been called 
devVMELib or something like that.
I will guess that trying to extend devLib to other buses, e.g. PCI will 
be a mistake. Thus it should only support VME.

Note that src/libCom/osi/os/RTEMS/devLibOSD.c is only 324 lines of code 
so making this work on powerPC architectures other than mpc750 should 
not be very difficult. It currently has the statement:

#if defined(__PPC__) && defined(mpc750)

around all the code.

Perhaps Till Straumann can comment?

There's been discussion offline of tech-talk about the best way to have a more generic RTEMS devLib but I don't think that discussion came to any conclusion.
