Re: Installing rtlinux on mpc860 board

Hi,
        Thanks for reply. I downloaded the rtlinux kernel you suggested and
patched it from your ftp site. After I configured it and tried to do "make
dep"  it gave me error  "llinux/limits.h no such file or directory" in
scripts/mkdep.c . I have extracted the sources in my home directory. Is it
necessry that I should extract it under /usr/src/linux or I am missing
something.
        Also I am a littlebit confused about what machine type I should
select for my mdppro board.

Thanks and regards,
Kapil.

        I am new to rtlinux. I want to install rtlinux on mpc860 board.
I have a mpc860T mdppro board. Can somebody guide me on which rtlinux I
should use and what are the steps that I will require to perform to
install the rtlinux on board.

We have a patch for RTLinux-3.0 on our  FTP  server,  as  well  as  a
kernel  that is known to work with this patch (there are other, newer
kernel versions as well, but these might need a little work  adapting
the  patch).  Included  with  the  patch  comes  a `README.DENX' with
detailed description of the patch and installation procedure.

Please note that there is also  a  patch  for  RTAI-24.1.4.  We  will
maintain  RTAI  support  in  the  future,  but  may (or may not) drop
support for RTLinux (no technical reasons, just because of the patent
issue).

Please see:

ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/rtlinux-3.0-denx.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/rtai-24.1.4-denx.tar.bz2
and maybe:
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/linux-2.4.4-2001-07-23.tar.bz2

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang Denk
