Werner,

I haven't seen any responses to this, so I'll jump in!

Right. The errors come from within devLib but are in fact only warnings.
The code is following the list

{"excStub", "excIntStub", "unsolicitedHandlerEPICS"}

looking for an existing entry point. On the Power PC, it doesn't find the
first two but does find the last. I think (Jeff Hill might care to comment)
that it would be fine simply not to search for the first two on the Power PC.

We are using mv2303 and mv2307 boards (the mv2306 is just a mv2307 with
less memory, right?). We don't yet have much experience with device
access but are actively working on porting our control systems from
M680x0 boards. I don't think we expect properly-written drivers to need
changes when moving between architectures. Kevin Tsubota
([email protected]) is doing this work and you might want to
contact him directly.
