For many reasons, we would like to switch to the ARM architecture. The aimed CPU is the iMX6 Quadcore. Freescale provides a patched 2.6.35 and 2.6.38 kernel that do not have all the peripherals (the CAN seems to be missing) and Emtrion, a CPU module manufacturer, say they provide the additional patches to have the complete BSP. It is likely a 2.6.35 only, though. From my point of view, the remaining work would be to : 1) apply the Xenomai 2.6.0 patches on their kernel, after having ported their diffs from 2.6.35 to 2.6.38 2) Once it is done, as we want CAN support, it remains the task to port the FlexCAN driver as an RTDM one, that I estimate to 1 man/week work. Do you experts see any possible issues or risks that I have not been thinking about ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards Thierry Bultel
