I'd like to start testing EPICS7 on RTEMS5.1. I think these are the latest versions slated for support. Is there guidance setting this up from the EPICS community? If not, I pretty much know what to do, but I'll be winging it a little --merging rtems specific instructions with epics specific instructions.

My target bsp's include pc386, beatnik, 3100 and motorola_shared (mvme_2700).

That would be great, but unfortunately we aren’t quite ready for testers yet. Right now we have 3 different versions of the RTEMS-5 port that need to be reconciled and merged into the 7.0 branch. There is a meeting of the Core Developers group on Wednesday when I plan to discuss doing that, assuming all 3 of the relevant developers are able to attend (please check the Agenda guys!), so hopefully it won’t be too much longer.

I will try to remember to let you and the community know as soon as we have the RTEMS-5 port merged.

BTW RTEMS-5 now provides a pc686 BSP, would you be able to run that instead of the pc386 or do you need the older one for the particular CPU boards you’re using?
