Ynezz,

I have found similar examples and therefore tested it. It works quite nicely 
with a TS7800 software PID controller where I needed a bit more precision. 
Also, I found a GCC 4.3 based cross compiler with which I compiled the kernel 
and my modules. Some of the math functions in the new GCC seem to offer quite a 
nice speedup too.

Interestingly enough my efforts eventually proved to be superfluous because I 
am not using up all the processor time required for my application.

Kris,

I do not use all the extra modules that come with the distributions. Could you 
point me in the direction of an EABI based distribution without Apache, Telnet, 
FTP and all sorts of other things I do not remember uninstalling anymore. I 
would love to start compiling my own distribution based on a similar debian 
port. The application for our TS7800 is in an industrial control system and I 
would prefer to leave out anything that can fail.

The main thing is that I want to make the system boot into a full distribution 
from powerup and then select the applications I need only, installing them 
one-by-one. What I am hoping for is that you would have a source distribution 
available so I can see how you guys setup the distributions supplied through 
your FTP repo.

I'll trade you my PC104 + ADC24 + DIO64 drivers if you like ;-)

Do you wonder why? :-) Nice reading[1] and note the date...
