Hi,
I'm currently working on a project based on the Arria V SoC FPGA (ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore). The goal of this project is to run a high speed ethernet link.
For some reasons the customer don't want to use a Linux kernel on the ARM. His wish is to have a simple program running a TCP/IP stack without any OS. In first place I thought about the RL-TCPnet library, but apparently it isn't compatible with the Cortex-A9 processors.
The worst case is to use a small RTOS like FreeRTOS, RTX or other, but in that case the same problem occurs, the Cortex-A9 processor isn't compatible with it.
Can you give me some advice? (I'm not very experienced with ARM processors)
Does anyone know a standalone TCP/IP library compatible with the Cortex-A9 MPCore? If not which kind of royalties free (RT)OS can I use?
Thank you

For RTOSes, I have another two at the top of my mind. There are most likely others and I encourage anyone reading to add the ones they know!
I am not an expert on ARM Cortex-A9 MPUs though, I can only reply as I know the content on the community very well!
