Re: [ECOS] iXP425 eval board (BIXMB425AD) progress?

["kjell at techtribe dot se" <kjell at techtribe dot se>]

Hi,

We're currently working on an eCos IXP425 port for a customer, firstly 
primarily working on the IXDP425 eval board at the moment. Planned for 
the near future is also working support for the built-in ethernet MACs 
(that's what we're working on right now :-)

At some later point we're certainly aiming at contributing the port back 
to the eCos community. However, since we're under NDA:s from Intel in 
order to get access to the info required for the port, I'm afraid that 
won't be possible until Intel removes the NDA restrictions for the IXP425.

Until then, anyone requiring an IXP425 port who has signed the proper 
NDA:s with Intel may of course contact us to discuss any arrangements to 
get access to our current work.


Cheers, /Kjell
