The C library used through out -this manual is @code{newlib}. Newlib is a ANSI conforming C library -developed by Cygnus Support. Libgloss could easily be made to -support other C libraries, and it can be used standalone as well. The -standalone configuration is typically used when bringing up new -hardware, or on small systems. - -For a long time, these details were part of newlib. This approach worked -well when a complete tool chain only had to support one system. A tool -chain refers to the series of compiler passes required to produce a -binary file that will run on an embedded system. For C, the passes are -cpp, gcc, gas, ld. Cpp is the preprocessor, which process all the header -files and macros. Gcc is the compiler, which produces assembler from the -processed C files. Gas assembles the code into object files, and then ld -combines the object files and binds the code to addresses and produces -the final executable image. - -Most of the time a tool chain does only have to support one target -execution environment. An example of this would be a tool chain for the -AMD 29k processor family. All of the execution environments for this -processor are have the same interface, the same memory map, and the same -I/O code. In this case all of the support code is in newlib/sys/FIXME. -Libgloss's creation was forced initially be the @code{cpu32} processor -family. There are many different execution environments for this line, -and they vary wildly. newlib itself has only has a few dependencies that -it needs for each target. These are explained later in this doc. The -hardware dependent part of newlib was reorganized into a separate -directory structure within newlib called the stub dirs. It was initially -called this because most of the routines newlib needs for a target were -simple stubs that do nothing, but return a value to the application. They -only exist so the linker can produce a final executable image. This work -was done during the early part of 1993. - -After a while it became apparent that this approach of isolating the -hardware and systems files together made sense. Around this same time -the stub dirs were made to run standalone, mostly so it could also be -used to support GDB's remote debugging needs. At this time it was -decided to move the stub dirs out of newlib and into it's own separate -library so it could be used standalone, and be included in various other -GNU tools without having to bring in all of newlib, which is large. The -new library is called Libgloss, for Gnu Low-level OS support. - -@menu -* Supported targets:: What targets libgloss currently - supports. -* Building libgloss:: How to configure and built libgloss - for a target. -@end menu - -@node Supported targets, Building libgloss, Libgloss, Libgloss -@subsection Supported Targets -Currently libgloss is being used for the following targets: - -@menu -* Sparclite:: Fujitsu's sparclite. -* CPU32:: Various m68k based targets. -* Mips:: Mips code based targets. -* PA-RISC:: Precision Risc Organization.. -@end menu - -@node Sparclite, CPU32, , Supported targets -@subsection Sparclite Targets Supported -@c FIXME: put links to the docs in etc/targetdoc -This is for the Fujitsu Sparclite family of processors. Currently this -covers the ex930, ex931, ex932, ex933, and the ex934. In addition to the -I/O code a startup file, this has a GDB debug-stub that gets linked into -your application. This is an exception handler style debug stub. For -more info, see the section on Porting GDB. @ref{GDB,,Porting GDB}. - -The Fujitsu eval boards use a host based terminal program to load and -execute programs on the target. This program, @code{pciuh} is relatively -new (in 1994) and it replaced the previous ROM monitor which had the -shell in the ROM. GDB uses the the GDB remote protocol, the relevant -source files from the gdb sources are remote-sparcl.c. The debug stub is -part of libgloss and is called sparcl-stub.c. - -@node CPU32, Mips, Sparclite, Supported targets -@subsection Motorola CPU32 Targets supported -This refers to Motorola's m68k based CPU32 processor family. The crt0.S -startup file should be usable with any target environment, and it's -mostly just the I/O code and linker scripts that vary. Currently there -is support for the Motorola MVME line of 6U VME boards and IDP -line of eval boards. All of the -Motorola VME boards run @code{Bug}, a ROM based debug monitor. -This monitor has the feature of using user level traps to do I/O, so -this code should be portable to other MVME boards with little if any -change. The startup file also can remain unchanged. About the only thing -that varies is the address for where the text section begins. This can -be accomplished either in the linker script, or on the command line -using the @samp{-Ttext [address]}. - -@c FIXME: Intermetrics or ISI wrote rom68k ? -There is also support for the @code{rom68k} monitor as shipped on -Motorola's IDP eval board line. This code should be portable across the -range of CPU's the board supports. There is also GDB support for this -target environment in the GDB source tree. The relevant files are -gdb/monitor.c, monitor.h, and rom58k-rom.c. The usage of these files is -discussed in the GDB section. - -@node Mips, PA-RISC, CPU32, Supported targets -@subsection Mips core Targets Supported -The Crt0 startup file should run on any mips target that doesn't require -additional hardware initialization. The I/O code so far only supports a -custom LSI33k based RAID disk controller board. It should easy to -change to support the IDT line of eval boards. Currently the two -debugging protocols supported by GDB for mips targets is IDT's mips -debug protocol, and a customized hybrid of the standard GDB remote -protocol and GDB's standard ROM monitor support. Included here is the -debug stub for the hybrid monitor. This supports the LSI33k processor, -and only has support for the GDB protocol commands @code{g}, @code{G}, -@code{m}, @code{M}, which basically only supports the register and -memory reading and writing commands. This is part of libgloss and is -called lsi33k-stub.c. - -The crt0.S should also work on the IDT line of eval boards, but has only -been run on the LSI33k for now. There is no I/O support for the IDT eval -board at this time. The current I/O code is for a customized version of -LSI's @code{pmon} ROM monitor. This uses entry points into the monitor, -and should easily port to other versions of the pmon monitor. Pmon is -distributed in source by LSI. - -@node PA-RISC, , Mips, Supported targets -@subsection PA-RISC Targets Supported -This supports the various boards manufactured by the HP-PRO consortium. -This is a group of companies all making variations on the PA-RISC -processor. Currently supported are ports to the WinBond @samp{Cougar} -board based around their w89k version of the PA. Also supported is the -Oki op50n processor. - -There is also included, but never built an unfinished port to the HP 743 -board. This board is the main CPU board for the HP700 line of industrial -computers. This target isn't exactly an embedded system, in fact it's -really only designed to load and run HP-UX. Still, the crt0.S and I/O -code are fully working. It is included mostly because their is a barely -functioning exception handler GDB debug stub, and I hope somebody could -use it. The other PRO targets all use GDB's ability to talk to ROM -monitors directly, so it doesn't need a debug stub. There is also a -utility that will produce a bootable file by HP's ROM monitor. This is -all included in the hopes somebody else will finish it. :-) - -Both the WinBond board and the Oki board download srecords. The WinBond -board also has support for loading the SOM files as produced by the -native compiler on HP-UX. WinBond supplies a set of DOS programs that -will allow the loading of files via a bidirectional parallel port. This -has never been tested with the output of GNU SOM, as this manual is -mostly for Unix based systems. - -@node Building libgloss, , Supported targets, Libgloss -@subsection Configuring and building libgloss. - -Libgloss uses an autoconf based script to configure. Autoconf scripts -are portable shell scripts that are generated from a configure.in file. -Configure input scripts are based themselves on m4. Most configure -scripts run a series of tests to determine features the various -supported features of the target. For features that can't be determined -by a feature test, a makefile fragment is merged in. The configure -process leaves creates a Makefile in the build directory. For libgloss, -there are only a few configure options of importance. These are --target -and --srcdir. - -Typically libgloss is built in a separate tree just for objects. In this -manner, it's possible to have a single source tree, and multiple object -trees. If you only need to configure for a single target environment, -then you can configure in the source tree. The argument for --target is -a config string. It's usually safest to use the full canonical opposed -to the target alias. So, to configure for a CPU32 (m68k) with a separate -source tree, use: - -@smallexample -../src/libgloss/configure --verbose --target m68k-coff -@end smallexample - -The configure script is in the source tree. When configure is invoked -it will determine it's own source tree, so the --srcdir is would be -redundant here. - -Once libgloss is configured, @code{make} is sufficient to build it. The -default values for @code{Makefiles} are typically correct for all -supported systems. The test cases in the testsuite will also built -automatically as opposed to a @code{make check}, where test binaries -aren't built till test time. This is mostly cause the libgloss -testsuites are the last thing built when building the entire GNU source -tree, so it's a good test of all the other compilation passes. - -The default values for the Makefiles are set in the Makefile fragment -merged in during configuration. This fragment typically has rules like - -@smallexample -CC_FOR_TARGET = `if [ -f $$@{OBJROOT@}/gcc/xgcc ] ; \ - then echo $@{OBJROOT@}/gcc/xgcc -B$@{OBJROOT@}/gcc/ ; \ - else t='$@{program_transform_name@}'; echo gcc | sed -e '' $$t ; fi` -@end smallexample - -Basically this is a runtime test to determine whether there are freshly -built executables for the other main passes of the GNU tools. If there -isn't an executable built in the same object tree, then -@emph{transformed}the generic tool name (like gcc) is transformed to the -name typically used in GNU cross compilers. The names are -typically based on the target's canonical name, so if you've configured -for @code{m68k-coff} the transformed name is @code{m68k-coff-gcc} in -this case. If you install with aliases or rename the tools, this won't -work, and it will always look for tools in the path. You can force the a -different name to work by reconfiguring with the -@code{--program-transform-name} option to configure. This option takes a -sed script like this @code{-e s,^,m68k-coff-,} which produces tools -using the standard names (at least here at Cygnus). - -The search for the other GNU development tools is exactly the same idea. -This technique gets messier when build options like @code{-msoft-float} -support are used. The Makefile fragments set the @code{MUTILIB} -variable, and if it is set, the search path is modified. If the linking -is done with an installed cross compiler, then none of this needs to be -used. This is done so libgloss will build automatically with a fresh, -and uninstalled object tree. It also makes it easier to debug the other -tools using libgloss's test suites. - -@node GCC, Libraries, Libgloss, Top -@chapter Porting GCC - -Porting GCC requires two things, neither of which has anything to do -with GCC. If GCC already supports a processor type, then all the work in -porting GCC is really a linker issue. All GCC has to do is produce -assembler output in the proper syntax. Most of the work is done by the -linker, which is described elsewhere. - -Mostly all GCC does is format the command line for the linker pass. The -command line for GCC is set in the various config subdirectories of gcc. -The options of interest to us are @code{CPP_SPEC} and -@code{STARTFILE_SPEC}. CPP_SPEC sets the builtin defines for your -environment. If you support multiple environments with the same -processor, then OS specific defines will need to be elsewhere. -@c FIXME: Check these names - -@code{STARTFILE_SPEC} - -Once you have linker support, GCC will be able to produce a fully linked -executable image. The only @emph{part} of GCC that the linker wants is a -crt0.o, and a memory map. If you plan on running any programs that do -I/O of any kind, you'll need to write support for the C library, which -is described elsewhere. - -@menu -* Overview:: An overview as to the compilation passes. -* Options:: Useful GCC options for embedded systems. -@end menu - -@node Overview, Options, , GCC -@subsection Compilation passes - -GCC by itself only compiles the C or C++ code into assembler. Typically -GCC invokes all the passes required for you. These passes are cpp, cc1, -gas, ld. @code{cpp} is the C preprocessor. This will merge in the -include files, expand all macros definitions, and process all the -@code{#ifdef} sections. To see the output of ccp, invoke gcc with the -@code{-E} option, and the preprocessed file will be printed on the -stdout. cc1 is the actual compiler pass that produces the assembler for -the processed file. GCC is actually only a driver program for all the -compiler passes. It will format command line options for the other passes. -The usual command line GCC uses for the final link phase will have LD -link in the startup code and additional libraries by default. - -GNU AS started it's life to only function as a compiler pass, but -these days it can also be used as a source level assembler. When used as -a source level assembler, it has a companion assembler preprocessor -called @code{gasp}. This has a syntax similar to most other assembler -macros packages. GAS emits a relocatable object file from the assembler -source. The object file contains the executable part of the application, -and debug symbols. - -LD is responsible for resolving the addresses and symbols to something -that will be fully self-contained. Some RTOS's use relocatable object -file formats like @code{a.out}, but more commonly the final image will -only use absolute addresses for symbols. This enables code to be burned -into PROMS as well. Although LD can produce an executable image, there -is usually a hidden object file called @code{crt0.o} that is required as -startup code. With this startup code and a memory map, the executable -image will actually run on the target environment. @ref{Crt0,,Startup -Files}. - -The startup code usually defines a special symbol like @code{_start} -that is the default base address for the application, and the first -symbol in the executable image. If you plan to use any routines from the -standard C library, you'll also need to implement the functions that -this library is dependent on. @ref{Libraries,,Porting Newlib}. - -@node Options, , Overview, GCC -@c FIXME: Need stuff here about -fpic, -Ttext, etc... - -Options for the various development tools are covered in more detail -elsewhere. Still, the amount of options can be an overwhelming amount of -stuff, so the options most suited to embedded systems are summarized -here.

This is -mainly to give a degree of error handling over the serial cable. For -each packet transmitted successfully, the target responds with a -@code{+} (@code{ACK}). If there was a transmission error, then the target -responds with a @code{-} (@code{NAK}).

This -means that a byte with the value @samp{7} becomes @samp{07}. On a 32 bit -machine this works out to 8 characters per word. All of the bytes in a -word are stored in the target byte order.

The exception handler needs -to communicate to GDB on the host whenever there is a breakpoint -exception. When GDB starts a program running on the target, it's polling -the serial port during execution looking for any debug packets. So when -a breakpoint occurs, the exception handler needs to save state, and send -a GDB remote protocol packet to GDB on the host. GDB takes any output -that isn't a debug command packet and displays it in the command window. - -Support for the exception handler varies between processors, but the -minimum supported functions are those needed by GDB. These are functions -to support the reading and writing of registers, the reading and writing -of memory, start execution at an address, single step, and last signal. -Sometimes other functions for adjusting the baud rate, or resetting the -hardware are implemented. - -Once GDB gets the command packet from the breakpoint, it will read a few -registers and memory locations an then wait for the user.
