Any experience w/Galileo EV-64260 BSP

Does anyone have experience using the QNX BSP for the Galileo EV-64260 eval
board? Our company is currently considering using QNX in an upcoming
project and I’d like to know how much hardware on the eval board is
supported by the BSP.

Thanks,
Mike

This list isn’t exhaustive … just things I remember of the
top of my head:

SMP 7450 (other processors as well).
Integrated Ethernet
Intergrated serial
PCI

I’m not sure there is a whole lot else; let us know if there is
anything in particular you’re looking for.

In particular, I want to know if the BSP supports the following:

  1. Both PCI Busses on the GT-64260
  2. All three GT-64260 10/100 Ethernet ports
  3. I2C master interface
  4. SDRAM DIMM EEPROM config (That is to say, does the BSP code go out and
    read the SDRAM eeprom and configure the GT-64260 and SDRAM according to what
    is found in the eeprom?)
  5. L2 Cache on the processor module

Thanks for the info…
Mike

Yes, although we are currently trying to resolve some cache coherency issues from PCI.

  1. All three GT-64260 10/100 Ethernet ports

Yes.

  1. I2C master interface

No.

  1. SDRAM DIMM EEPROM config (That is to say, does the BSP code go out and
    read the SDRAM eeprom and configure the GT-64260 and SDRAM according to what
    is found in the eeprom?)

No, but the IPL autodetects DRAM, and programs the GT-64260 accordingly.

  1. L2 Cache on the processor module

Yes.

The Galileo BSP has not been released yet (the hardware is quite
new).

If you require this BSP ASAP, you probably need to get in
touch with your sales contact.

No … we (QSSL) have produced the BSP. It has not made it into
a release yet.

I have the BSP here, and it doesn’t seem to have any reference to

Silly me, of course the BSP here refers to the Galileo BSP from Marvell,
not the BSP from QNX, right?
