Status of MPC5200 ???

Status of MPC5200 ???

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

I wonder to which extend Motorola's MPC5200 is supported by now.

I know www.denx.de has a tree in its CVS server. Is everything supported yet?

What about BitKeeper? Will there be support for this processor in the 2.4 series?

Which compiler do I need to use its floating point capabilities in an user land
application?

Thanks a million!

Right. (Also testing with ELDK-3.0-alpha and GCC-3.x)

Hi

This topic was raised some time ago, but what is the current status of
MPC5200 with regards to stability/maturity of kernel
and peripheral support, CAN etc.

Regards,
Jón

The kernek in general is pretty stable. There are  some  areas  where
work needs to be done and is being done (like IDE DMA support).

We have things like CAN driver, RTAI, etc. working, too.
