<p>The <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> IP Core is capable of booting the Linux kernel (<a href="http://www.kernel.org">http://www.kernel.org</a>) up to the <code>init</code> program search.</p>
32 
<h3>Requirements</h3>
33 
<ul>
34 
<li>Linux kernel sources (<a href="http://www.kernel.org">http://www.kernel.org</a>), tested with version 2.6.33.1,</li>
35 
<li>a MC68000 toolchain (<a href="http://www.gnu.org">http://www.gnu.org</a>), tested with binutils-2.20 and gcc-core-4.4.3,</li>
36 
<li>a development board to run the system, tested with Terasic DE2-70 board (<a href="http://www.terasic.com.tw">http://www.terasic.com.tw</a>),</li>
37 
<li>a SDHC card,</li>
38 
<li>a serial cable to view the output of kernel execution on a serial terminal program.</li>
39 
</ul>
40 
<h3>System-on-Chip</h3>
41 
<p>In order to test the <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> processor by booting the Linux kernel, a System-on-Chip is prepared and located at: <code>./tests/soc_for_linux_on_terasic_de2_70/verilog/</code>. The system consists of:</p>
42 
<ul>
43 
<li>an early boot state machine: early_boot.v,</li>
44 
<li>a SDHC card controller: sd.v,</li>
45 
<li>a serial line transmitter: serial_txd.v,</li>
46 
<li>a SSRAM controller: ssram.v,</li>
47 
<li>a simple timer: timer.v,</li>
48 
<li>a top level module, that instantiates the above modules and the <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> processor: soc_for_linux.v.</li>
49 
</ul>
50 
<h3>Step-by-step instruction to prepare the system</h3>
51 
<ul>
52 
<li>download the Linux kernel (linux-2.6.33.1.tar.bz2),</li>
53 
<li>download the toolchain (binutils-2.20.tar.bz2, gcc-core-4.4.3.tar.bz2),</li>
54 
<li>configure and make Binutils: <br/>
55 
 <code>./configure --prefix=(build prefix) --target=m68knommu-none-linux</code> <br/>
56 
 <code>make</code> <br/>
57 
 <code>make install</code> <br/>
58 
</li>
59 
<li>configure and make GCC: <code>./../gcc-4.4.3/configure --prefix=(build prefix) --target=m68knommu-none-linux --disable-threads --disable-shared --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libiberty --disable-zlib --disable-libgomp</code> <br/>
60 
 <code>make</code> <br/>
61 
 <code>make install</code> <br/>
62 
</li>
63 
<li>patch the Linux kernel sources by copying the contents of the directory <code>./tests/soc_for_linux_on_terasic_de2_70/software/linux-2.6.33.1-ao68000/</code> into the Linux kernel sources directory,</li>
64 
<li>configure and make the Linux kernel: <br/>
65 
 <code>make menuconfig ARCH=m68knommu CROSS_COMPILE=(build prefix)/bin/m68knommu-none-linux-</code> <br/>
66 
 <code>make ARCH=m68knommu CROSS_COMPILE=(build prefix)/bin/m68knommu-none-linux-</code> <br/>
67 
</li>
68 
<li>convert the Linux kernel binary in ELF format into a flat binary format: <code>(build prefix)//bin/m68knommu-none-linux-objcopy -O binary vmlinux vmlinux.bin</code> <br/>
69 
</li>
70 
<li>synthesise the <code>soc_for_linux</code> with the Altera Quartus II tool. The instructions to perform the synthesis are located in the makefile located at: <code>./Makefile</code>,</li>
71 
<li>prepare a SDHC card with the software:<ul>
72 
<li>copy the first 8 bytes of memory form the file <code>./tests/soc_for_linux_on_terasic_de2_70/sd_card/sector0.dat</code>: <br/>
73 
 <code>dd if=sector0.dat of=/dev/(SD card device)</code> This file contains the SSP and PC values read by the <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> processor after booting.</li>
74 
<li>copy the Linux kernel flat binary, at offset 1024: <br/>
75 
 <code>dd if=vmlinux.bin of=/dev/(SD card device) bs=1024 seek=1</code> <br/>
76 
</li>
77 
</ul>
78 
</li>
79 
<li>insert the SDHC card into the reader in the Terasic DE2-70 board,</li>
80 
<li>load the synthesised SOF file into the FPGA</li>
81 
<li>look at the output of the kernel console by opening a serial terminal application and reading the output of the board.</li>
82 
</ul>
83 
<h3>Notes</h3>
84 
<ul>
85 
<li>the SLOB allocator and not the default SLAB allocator had to be selected because of a problem in the kernel sources (in_interrupt() check before enabling the interrupts (at in ./kernel/slab.c:2109)),</li>
86 
<li>the source file in the Linux kernel: <code>./init/initramfs.c</code> compiled with the GCC option <code>-m68000</code> contains illegal code to execute on a MC68000 (copy a long word from an unaligned address). Even after correcting this problem, the kernel did not want to boot reliably (sometimes it booted and found the init program, sometimes not).</li>
87 
</ul>
88 
<h3>Linux console output</h3>

<p>The output of the running kernel is presented below: </p>
