The current method of loading uCode to the uEngines is by way of the Intel uEngine Developer's Workbench and a special RPC daemon sitting on Linux that talks to a driver below which manages the low level communications. This should be no different then what you do with VxWorks. Currently, the drivers and the RPC daemon are only available with the 2.0 IXA SDK and not in a redistributable (source/binary) lisence, which is why I haven't forward ported them to 2.4. If you want to use the uEngines with the SDK on the 2.4 kernel, you'll have to forward port the Linux portions yourself. We're working with Intel to solve the license issues so that I can make a 2.4 uEngine driver and RPC daemon available. However, the timeframe for this is unknown at the moment, so I would just start the porting on my own if I were you. Feel free to ask any questions to me and on the list. ~Deepak -- Deepak Saxena, Code Monkey - Ph:480.517.0372 Fax:480.517.0262 MontaVista Software - Powering the Embedded Revolution - www.mvista.com Art is allegory, but not all allegory is art. - Me _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/armlinux/mailinglists.php Please visit the above addresses for information on this list.
