You'll probably have no luck with ARCH=ppc, our port runs with
ARCH=powerpc (and still has some crude hacks inside).
I am in the same situation: I have a board (MVME3100, PPC8540) that uses
the ARCH=ppc, but I have some strict realtime requirements. As far as I
understand from the discussions on this list (and on other places) the
ARCH=ppc will be dropped in favor of ARCH=powerpc, and the -rt patch
will not support the ppc-architecture.
But before I start working on the powerpc-version of the BSP I would
like to know how stable the patch runs on powerpc (and specifically on
ppc85xx), and how good the realtime performance of the patch is on
powerpc. Are there any (recent) performance measurements available for
the patch on a powerpc platform?
Also a question that is not directly related to this list, but maybe
someone can help me with it. Is there some information available on
porting a BSP from ppc to powerpc? I was not able to find information on
this except for the fact that the ppc architecture will be dropped, but
no information on what impact this has on a BSP.
Kind regards,
Johan Borkhuis
