Embedded Linux platform for robotic

Jul 03, 2006 2 Replies

Hello,



We are planing to develop a new 32bit controller for robotic systems based on Linux. Required Features are real time support, CAN and Ethernet. The MPC5200 from Freescale on a Board from Phytec seams perfect. Has somebody experience with Linux and this Processor? Is it easy to implement and are all Features supported under Linux? Or has somebody a suggestion on a similar Processor with is better supported under Linux?



Best regards, Syed Amer Gilani

yes.

easy is relative, and no, not ALL features are supported under linux. For instance wireless support for PPC linux blows.

How about this???

I haven't used it yet, but it seems like a reasonable starting point for robotics endeavors.
