Hello Philip,
Yes, we are running Linux on a VME board at PSI (see Timo's mail).
The trick is of course to get VME access. You have to implement all the
generic devLib functions for your board and install a function table
with these implementations in the global pdevLibVirtualOS variable.
To to this, you need to have some VME bus API with your board. We got
that from the vendor of our board.
Contact me if you want to now more.

Is anyone running EPICS on PowerPC VME boards using an OS other than
VxWorks or RTEMS? For example, using embedded Linux.
I found this presentation from the 2006 EPICS meeting:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/meetings/2006-06/Operating_Systems/Linux-MVME_Targets.pdf
This recommends using an Embedded Linux Development Kit from Denx
(www.denx.de).
Is anyone using something like this operationally? Is there an
appropriate target defined for EPICS base? And does it have any
advantage over using RTEMS?
Thanks,
Philip Taylor
