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.
