Hi,

As you can find on the link: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-15, EPICS base is ready to test on RPi. Because it has support for ARM host based setup!

I've downloaded the base and give a chance to run on RPi, every command i wrote was successfully run... EpicsHostArch script in startup directory gives "linux-arm" as host arch. It was hard to port other architecture files to linux-arm. It took about an hour to set up new base.

After setting up new base, i run selftest command: "make runtest". All tests passed successfully.

In addition to base module, probe, medm and visualdct extensions can be set up. They all are working properly. I just used lesstif2-dev package instead of libmotif-dev.

Regards,
Metin.

Great.  The gnuCommon include should go in CONFIG.linux-arm.linux-arm to match 
what happens with the linux-x86 target.  The CONFIG.linux-x86.linux-x86 file 
also has a few settings associated with building static binaries and shared 
libraries which might be needed on arm; I don't see anything in them that is 
x86-specific, but I'm not sure it they're required or not.

Once we've worked out exactly what they should be I'll add these files to the 
3.14 branch so they appear in the 3.14.12.3 release.
