AT91rm9200 Devel. Board (Student Project): Choice of OS??

Hi,

Im a senior undergrad working on a project to develop an AT91RM9200-based development board, which will be my final undergrad project. Till now, i have been working on interfacing stuff to this controller, setting up its internal peripherals to build interfaces for a final development board.

Nows the time to start thinking about having an OS running on the final product. To this end, ive been looking for an OS which would fit the bill.

Obviously, the first choice was ARM-Linux. It is whole-heartedly supported by Atmel for this particular uC im using. But the quandry im faced with now is that it looks like theyve already done everything thats needed for the OS to be run on this uC..seems like i just have to add enough storage for the OS to breathe in, theyv taken care of the drivers etc for the peripherals..theres nothing left for me to do! am i right in thinking so?

Comments on the above are invited.

Thanx, Mayank

The devil is in the details.

Thinks that could be nice to look into is:

1) Linux 2.6 support is there but does not have as many drivers as the 2.4 2) USB Device support (especially in U-Boot) It would be cool, if you could have S/W in U.-Boot that made the part emulate a USB disk 3) Support for external ADCs 4) Codec support for Audio handling 5) Get QT-Embedded to run easily

We have U-Boot, but no U-Boot with a USB Client that supports a USB Mass Storage Device.

Where are you located? Finland?

Don't find the price for te DK in EBV's online inventory...only chips for around 20 Euros which are not in stock anyway...

But I think there are already too many AT92RM9200 boards around (o; No need to develop new one (o;

Mr Samuelsson,

Could you please ask the guys in ur company why atmel has virtually no presense in India? Getting high end parts like the ARM7 or ARM9 varieties is a pain, often the shipping costs are greater than that of the part itself !
