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. Dirk On 11.02.2014 12:21, Philip Taylor wrote:
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?
