This is my first mail here, so hopefully, everything works fine... We at Anagramm GmbH, located in Germany/Munich, are planning to setup an embedded system for our new image grabbing/camera platform utilizing the Freescale MPC8540 (PowerQUICC III) processor. I am planning to use tested hardware components for the first prototyping setup to concentrate on getting things going without worrying about broken HW. The goal is to get a portable solution with fast interfaces for about 10..50+ MBytes/s throughput. (Local Bus Bulk Data/IO or RapidIO or GPIO to Gigabit Ethernet) Additionally we want to add up an interface for a small TFT Panel. I think about putting a Silicon Motion (SMI) Graphics controller (SM712 or SM501) on the PCI bus. I am already in contact with SMI about HW/SW support from them. I think about porting some old xfree drivers from SMI to a current 2.4 or 2.6 kernel or writing a framebuffer device driver for the graphics. Is there anybody with a similar setup and/or some similar tasks to get Linux with X11 to work on targets like this? Later on we want to port our image processing environment and a Qt-GUI to the platform for some products.
