Hi Andrew,

I am referring to BSP for MVME-5500 board.

Thanks,

Stefen.

That depends on the BSP (you didn't tell us which board/BSP you're
using), but you could be right. Over the 15 years I've been maintaining
BSPs for the APS I have added many features to our BSPs which did not
come with the originals from Wind River. I have made several of those
changes available to the EPICS community through tech-talk, which you
can find by searching the archives, but please note that I can't publish
the full BSP code because the original BSPs are proprietary software,
not Open Source.

If you explain what you're looking for in a bit more detail there are
several people on this list who might be able to help.
