Hi In reviewing ports for deprecation, I noticed that a few architectures have some very old BSPs which are unlikely to be used anymore. Dropping architectures and BSPs is beneficial for a few reasons:
+ Architecture removal cuts down on tool configurations when building all architectures. + BSP removal speeds up build sweep times which include rtems-bsp-builder. That build sweep takes about 8 hours currently. + Often eliminates code that cannot be relicensed because I cannot find the author. I would like to get some feedback on removing them. + ARM candidates include at least csb336, csb337 and variants. gumstix. edb7312, and smdk2410 + m68k candidates include mrm332, most Coldfire BSPs, and 68360 BSPs. The only ones I currently see a need to keep are the mvme, mcf5282 based, and genmcf548x. + PowerPC should have some but I need help making a list Help is really needed to make this list. Please speak up. This type of knowledge is in the community. I have no idea what BSPs are still in use or even available any longer. We need to have a ticket on each targeting 6.1 for deprecation and a 7.1 ticket for removal. I am happy to do that part. Thanks. --joel
