Thanks for the fast reply. Of all the mvme boards you listed, the 3100 hits a nice price point and we're attempting to find suitable replacement stock (quantity 30+) for the 2700 which are no longer manufactured.
Are the 6100 boards on beatnik bsp the only remaining option for RTEMS? They cost nearly twice as much and have shown thermal regulation issues. -Matt On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 11:10 AM, Michael Davidsaver < mdavidsa...@ospreydcs.com> wrote: > Hi Matt, > > The MVME3100 is based on the MPC8540 processor.
