  In the frame­work of the In­ter­na­tional Fu­sion Ma­te­ri­als Ir­ra­di­a­tion Fa­cil­ity (IFMIF), which con­sists of two high power ac­cel­er­a­tor dri­vers, each de­liv­er­ing a 125 mA deuteron beam at 40 MeV in CW, an ac­cel­er­a­tor pro­to­type is presently under de­sign and re­al­iza­tion for the first phase of the pro­ject. This ac­cel­er­a­tor in­cludes a SRF Linac, which is de­signed for the trans­porta­tion and fo­cal­iza­tion of the deuteron beam up to 9 MeV. This SRF Linac is a large cry­omod­ule of ~6 m long, work­ing at 4.4 K and at the fre­quency of 175 MHz in con­tin­u­ous wave. It is mainly com­posed of 8 low-beta HWRs, 8 So­le­noid Pack­ages and 8 RF Power Cou­plers. This paper fo­cuses on the re­cent de­vel­op­ments and changes made on the SRF Linac de­sign: fol­low­ing the aban­don of the HWR fre­quency tun­ing sys­tem, ini­tially based on a plunger lo­cated in­side the cen­tral re­gion of the res­onator, a new ex­ter­nal tun­ing sys­tem has been de­signed, im­ply­ing a com­plete re­design of the res­onator and con­se­quently im­pact­ing the cry­omod­ule lat­tice. The re­cent changes in the de­sign are pre­sented in this paper. In ad­di­tion, cold tests were per­formed on a HWR pro­to­type and cold tests re­sults of the mag­nets pro­to­types are also pre­sented.
