Hello,

in my company we have designed a self made processor board which has
nothing in common with a PC except an intel-processor. We are using this
board to do high speed digital image processing. A line scan camera is
able to scan via the memory controller directly into the processors
memory. For now we haven't ported any OS to this board. Our programm is
loaded via a bootloader through the host pc´s ISA bus. 

I thought about porting the Linux kernel with real time extensions to
this board. My question is, if there are any sources out there, that
have already done a port to non common platforms. In such a
configuration only the main kernel and a few drivers
(ramdisk/minixfs/network) are needed.

My idea was to encapsulte the board<->pc interface behind a network
interface and to use the onboard serial controller for a terminal
connection. Bootloading of the linux kernel to the board is done via a
specific host side interface. 

I would be very lucky if someone could give me some pointers, because
this idea is more a personal target. I would like to convince my
employer from the usefulness and industrial suitability of Linux.

Thank you in advance
Dirk Lütjens
