MPC555 BSP

MPC555 BSP

[Josie Adams]

Hello,
We have an eCOS BSP which supports the MPC555. We would like to contribute
this BSP to eCOS.

Our phyCORE-MPC555 single board computer is based on the MPC555 embedded
controller.

Please let me know what further steps we need to take to get our
phyCORE-MPC555 in your list of supported hardware:

Regards,
Josie

Hi Jodie,

It sounds great that you've got a port done. I assume you used the existing 
mpc5xx variant HAL as the basis?

As for adding to the hardware list, we only list targets there that are 
actually part of the main eCos distribution. So the best thing to do is 
integrate your port into the main eCos distribution. That way everyone can 
get the port more easily, and you have the advantage of it being more 
likely to be kept up-to-date and have fixes and improvements applied by users.

The process to do this is described here:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/patches.html
As you will read there, the first step will be getting a copyright 
assignment in place. Then we can actually look at the patch!

Thanks for contributing back!
