- Is there any public developer documentation for the 88W8388? - Did anyone build a cross GCC toolchain for the ARM9e embedded processor? Hopefully, a regular arm-elf toolchain with newlib would suffice. - Is there any existing code that could be leveraged as a starting point? The RTOS part seems to be the easiest. In their press releases, Marvell says they've been using this RTOS: http://www.rtos.com/txappinterface.asp Judging from the API, it's just a naive cooperative scheduler and a couple of synchrononization primitives. We developed something very close to it as part of our in-house library of reusable components, which is already available under the GPL: http://www.develer.com/oss/DevLib And this is the part implementing process scheduling and IPC: http://www.develer.com/devlib/devlib-current/kern/ Another GPL'd RTOS I would recommend for this application is this one: http://www.ethernut.de/en/software/index.html http://www.ethernut.de/api/index.html It's a bit thicker, but maybe we can afford it. -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer S.r.l., R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@laptop.org http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
