I wanted to talk about copyright assignment issues with my Freescale iMX6X = work early in the process. The status is: - Project not registered yet - Uses Freescale SDK macros - Uses Freescale SDK code for MMU, GIC, etc - UART working - Runs on a single core of an iMX6Q Sabre SD board - Debuggable with JLink - Runs a ported SDK primes app as a two thread eCos program Before I register, I want to have a strategy in place to deal with Freescal= e code. Do I replace all the Freescale code line by line until nothing is l= eft, or see if Freescale will assign copyright? I need advice on options be= fore I spend a bunch of time rewriting the Freescale code I am using. I have to make a trip to Freescale in Austin TX Sept 24th, so I have an opp= ortunity to discuss with them if you know the appropriate people to discuss= with. Things on my road map not related to copyright: - Getting SMP running - Multicore debugging with JLink - Getting Mentor Probe Working with a true multicore debugger (not separate= GDB sessions in Eclipse) - Building bin files for SD or flash - Peripherals like Ethernet - Registering the project - Building a releasable toolchain (works for me, but nothing like works for= everyone)
