RE: [microblaze-uclinux] uClinux capabilities



Hi Alastair,
    We have similar requirements and managed to map our VRTX code base to UCLINUX using multiple pthreads. We don't have full functionality yet since we are waiting on hardware. I suggest you play around with pthreads on an eval board and get your feet wet, there will be some learning. We use mutex, message queues and pipes in our applications.

Subject: [microblaze-uclinux] uClinux capabilities

Hi folks,
 
I've got a general question about the requirements and capabilities of uClinux running on Microblaze. We're about to embark on a project which will require porting some existing code to run on the microblaze under uclinux. What I'm hoping to get a feel for is the footprint of the OS - the demo version which I tried looked to be around 1MB so I'm wondering if this can be paired down any further (if we need to - this isn't clear yet either ...).
 
Also, is it possible to have multiple threads, mutexes/semaphores etc. From having a look in the mailing list archives it looks like there is support for pthreads but if anyone has any good/bad experiences with this it would be good to hear more.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Alastair.
