Ice porting on Freescale Imx35

[piccinini]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the possibility to port ice on an embedded linux running on freescale imx35 (instead of using orbit2 that is already boundled in the LTIB system).

• What are the packages that I need to cross compile Ice for my target?
• Is there any work around on this porting?
• Do you think that is a mission impossible ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Enrico,

This is certainly doable, and you won't need to cross-compile many third-party packages for your target.

Assuming you just need Ice for C++, and possibly the IceSSL plugin, you would need on the target:
- the bzip2 library (to support protocol compression)
- the OpenSSL library (for the IceSSL plugin)

Alternatively, you could consider porting Ice-E (for C++) to your target. Ice-E does not support protocol compression or SSL, and wouldn't require any third-party library on your target.

Best regards,
Bernard

Thank you a lot.

I will try with E-Ice.
