Re: EPICS 3.15 and RTEMS 5

Hello Pete,

a while ago, I made an effort to bump our RTEMS+EPICS(+Cexp+GeSys) combo to 5 and it didn't work very well when I tried it on our MVME3100. Detailed description of the process I have put here:

https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/users/2017-December/031906.html

One thing clearly lacking in that process was including libbspext necessary for our board. From there, we moved to combining RTEMS 4.10 with EPICS 7 (and Cexp and GeSys) which also didn't work well (https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2018/msg01373.php). We were able to get a working 4.10+7 setup after dropping Cexp/GeSys from the picture, but no further experiments were done towards RTEMS 5. And even if we had a bootable image of 5 for VME, compiling EPICS apps for it would be another story.

I don't know if that is of any help, but I'm certainly interested in developments in that direction.

Regards,

Anton.

Dear Tech talkers,

  Is anyone working on making EPICS 3.15.6 work with RTEMS 5? I started to do this and was wondering if anyone else had beaten me to it (wishful thinking, I know!)

Pete.
