hi, all: I have read an article titled as "Implementation of an EPICS IOC on an Embedded Soft Core Processor Using Field Programmable Gate Arrays" of 10th ICALEPCS. It's written by Douglas Curry of Jefferson Lab. In the end of this paper, it's said "We have also cross-compiled EPICS for ?Clinux and are presently in the beginning stages of executing and troubleshooting embedded IOCs on the Nios II architecture." Is this work finished? I am very interested in it. Would anybody kindly tell me more details? thanks a lot in advance.
Doug Curry did not get much further along in this work at Jefferson Lab. He was very successful, and it looked to have a lot of promise. For reasons of standardization and long-term stability, we decided to pursue an alternative path...namely, using PC104 embedded processors running RTEMS to provide a control system interface to FPGA-based systems. Since that time Doug has moved on to SNS. -- Matthew Bickley Email: [email protected] Computer Scientist Telephone: 757-269-7347 TJNAF
