Subject: [Emc-developers] Arm with PCIe -- mesa 6i25
I am looking at processors for my next controller. I saw yesterday that the
RockPro64 has a PCIe 4x connector. It has a six core RK3399 - dual core A72
- quad core Arm53. At the moment that doesn??t mean much to me.
Anyway my question is would it be feasible to use the RockPro64 with a 6i25
board and if, yes, what would be required to use a 6i25 with that processor,
i.e., is it just recompiling some ??C?? code or is there a bunch of assembly
code that would have to be rewritten.
Thanks,
Alan
I suspect any changes (if needed) would be pretty minor, but a bigger question
is can you get or build a reliable real time kernel for the RockPro. One issue
with the ARM boards is that each one is different enough that its often an
'adventure' to do things that are trivial on x86 because of per ARM board
idiosyncrasies.
