Hi all,

I'm starting to look at XIP issues with Linux. I know this sounds strange, but has anyone done anything with XIP for kernel loadable modules? If so, please let me know. I'd be interested in hearing about what you've done.

I'd like to start collecting information about XIP on the eLinux wiki. If you've done XIP for the kernel or for user-space (application XIP), or know a good source of information about this, please let me know.

I'm interested in putting together a basic tutorial about XIP, and doing some benchmarking on an ARM platform.

Thanks,
-- Tim

i believe the denk guys have done some benchmarking on ppc, so you might want to poke them if they arent on this list -mike

We are here, of course, but I feel we have nothing to contribute. All our work in this area dates back several years and is probably not applicable to current software versions any more.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
