RTEMS-mvme5500 BSP

[Kate Feng]

Hi,

As what I have stated previously privately that
there are known bugs  unrelated to your problems, in the version
of the mvme5500 BSP you have that I discourage you from using it,
especially knowing that you are using it for the powerSupply.  This
is all I can say until the EPICS LICENSE issue is resolved between
the  mvme5500 BSP that I wrote and the beatnik BSP that Till
Straumann wrote after  mvme5500 BSP was released.

I can not send you the new kernel until this issue is resolved. I do
not think you can use beatnik leagally at thie point before it's resolved, either.
I will try to answer you the questions below as much as I  can, but
I do not see it as mvme5500 BSP related or  OS related. I recommend
that you  take an EPICS and RTEMS training and have all questions
solved there. I remember  that there is an EPICS workshop/training
to be held in China this Spring.

I did not try sequence with RTEMS yet, but it should not be OS dependent.
Look at the linux-x86.
Obviously, the PATH is wrong if you intended to use RTEMS.  Depending
on the configuration of the Makefile, it should be something like
/home/rtems/base-3.14.6/base/sequence/bin/RTEMS-mvme5500  or
/home/rtems/base-3.14.6/bin/RTEMS-mvme5500  instead of
/home/rtems/base-3.14.6/base/sequence/bin/linux-x86.
