We are already up and running on the VME board (which is from PEP, not Moto. PEP supplied the BSP), using the PEP/Wind River-supplied tools for a Sparc/Solaris 2.5 cross m68K PEP VME. The problem is that we need to do field support for some of our products, and we don't have a portable Sparc. We have a PC-based laptop running Solaris 2.5. The missing link is the i486/Solaris-m68K cross compiler. I haven't called the folks at Wind River, but I've been told that they don't currently support Solaris running on Intel hardware. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: i486 Solaris 2.5 / embedded m68k cross compiler needed Author: "Robert J.

If you are a VxWorks customer, they should be able to supply Gnu toolchain -- cross compiler, assembler, run-time libraries, linker, debugger, etc. You could build them yourself, but Wind River supplies the Gnu tools routinely for their OS. The trickiest part is the cross debugger, but they do that too. I trust you are using some kind of MVME board from Motorola, and that there is a BSP available for it. -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- Robert Jay Brown III rj@eli.elilabs.com http://www.elilabs.com 1 847 705-0424 Elijah Laboratories Inc.; 37 South Greenwood Avenue; Palatine, IL 60067-6328 ----- M o d e l i n g t h e M e t h o d s o f t h e M i n d ------
