Hi, all, we at DSA are selling Motorola- based test equipment to our customers for some time now. In order to be more independent from the processor platform we are thinking of running the equipment under Linux in the future. The hardware to be run under Linux is: - CPU board with a 68070 with 16 bit flash-ROM (1 MByte), 16 bit wide SRAM (4 MByte) and an 8 or 16 bit wide DPR (dual ported SRAM, 32 KByte). - The serial interface built into the 68070 is used only for debugging/testing purposes at the moment. - There is an additional quad UART for external devices and a RTC. - After a reset the flash is addressed at 0 to make the boot vectors and interrupts available. It can later be exchanged with the SRAM, the flash then resides in upper memory and the SRAM is at address 0 so that interrupt vectors can be changed. - At the moment we use PDOS as the operating system. This is a realtime multiuser multitasking operating system especially for embedded systems. For our applications realtime and and multiuser functions are not that important. Does the list think our hardware could run uCLinux? What would have to be done to make uCLinux run on our hardware? We heard that the 68070 is not supported very well at the moment. If so, which 68xxx alternatives are to recommend? Is the 68332 supported? Does a development environment for a PC exist which enables us to produce kernel and applications for the target Motorola hardware? I know that I am asking many questions at once, but we are starting basically from zero. We have a rather good knowledge about Linux in general and about the kernel on Intel platforms but are uCLinux newbies. Any help, pointers to more information to take the first hurdles is very welcome.
