Hello,
I would like to know if there is any support for MIL_STD 1553 bus for imx6. MIL-STD 1553 is a bus used in the military domain and from what I've read there could be MIL-STD 1553 modules plugged on a PCI card or PCMCIA cards or it could be a native interface like PMC, PXI or VXI.
In case support for MIL_STD 1553 PCI or PCMCIA card is needed, what would I need besides PCI or PCMCIA driver support ? Is there a MIL-STD 1553 driver available ? I didn't find anything.
Has anyone came across this situation until now or could point me where to look for documentation?
Thank you,
Mihaita Ivascu
Hi Mihaita
i.MX6 do not support MIL-STD 1553 natively in hardware, however
as you correctly noted, one can use mPCIe cards integrating 1553 interfaces.
Usually MIL-STD 1553 drivers (or its sources) are provided by card vendors,
they are not available in standard BSP distribution.
Best regards

Hello Igor,
Thanks for the information. In case native MIL-STD 1553 card (PXI, PMC or VXI interfaces) is used I suppose a completely new driver for that specific chip needs to be written. Is that correct ?
Thank you,

Hi Mihaita
I think you are right.

Hello Biyong,
I looked there before posting the question and saw there was no reference to MIL-STD 1553 bus. I wanted to make sure that maybe I'm missing something.
Thank you,
