PPC64 is a non-trivial port to maintain (mostly regarding the interrupt pipeline). However, the Xenomai user base for this architecture has always been very small, not to say marginal.
As part of the ongoing effort to fit the project to the resources, I would suggest to drop support for the PowerPC64 architecture, in the same terms than it just happened with Blackfin, i.e. - The I-pipe support for the ppc64 architecture would not be maintained beyond kernel 4.9.51 (LTS). - ppc64 support would be marked as deprecated in the next releases of the Xenomai 3.0.x series, then no more maintained from that point (not even build tested). This code would be fully removed from the -next branch leading to Xenomai 3.1. Please send any feedback before Jan 15, 2018. Thanks, -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list Xenomai@xenomai.org https://xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
