I assume ntp is network time? Works for me - no problems http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=:ntp > - libstdc++ We run all the standard C++ built in tests on the hardware, and all the interesting ones pass: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=toolchain:testing === g++ Summary === # of expected passes 11912 # of unexpected failures 2 # of unexpected successes 2 # of expected failures 66 # of unsupported tests 134 The unexpected fails are GNU extentsions to C++, which no one uses. > - Boost I assume this is http://www.boost.org/ ? Assuming the boost build system handles cross builds properly - I don't see there would be a problem. (yet another project that thought autotools suck, and made their own - so I will have to play with it to make sure). > - OpenGL-ES I know there have been plenty of people asking about it, and I thought people were shipping it - but the Blackfin/Linux teams has not done any work on it. > Anyone that has experience with these?

If you can comment on their > support, that would also be greatly appreciated :) It depends on what you mean for "support"? To some this means port Bootloader/kernel to hardware platform. (which is really a custom development role - most skilled Linux consultants can do this - and there are a few that hang around here - Phil @ SDCS is very familiar with the Blackfin and could do work like this). To some it means provide technical guidance/architecture on porting/developing custom applications. Again - this is normally handed by a consultant (dur to NDA reasons). To others this means determinist answers to questions (on toolchain, Boot Loader, kernel, libraries, standard or custom applications). If it is just answers to questions - the folks at blackfin.uclinux.org are pretty good at answering questions within a day. Sometimes a poke to your local ADI sales/FAE can help escalate things, but normally, it is pretty good. (std disclaimer - I help on this site, so my opinions might be a little jaded). -Robin _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by [email protected] To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
