This is the Or1k specific README file for the RTEMS project.
|
|
Please send questions or comments to Chris Ziomkowski,
|
|
chris@asics.ws. I will try my best to answer your questions.
|
|
|
|
Currently, there is only 1 board support package for Or1k, which
|
|
is called bender. To make this package, it may be necessary to
|
|
edit the board configuration make file in rtems-4.5.0/make/custom.
|
|
The file is called bender.cfg. It was necessary to hard code some
|
|
libraries in this file, as I could not figure out how to make the
|
|
automatic scripts link against the correct libraries. There is a
|
|
hardcoded path to your gcclib directory which it may be necessary
|
|
to change.
|
|
|
|
Configure is excluded from CVS depository. In order to build or
|
|
rebuild it you will need:
|
|
autoconf v2.12 or later
|
|
automake v1.4 or later
|
|
|
|
To build configure run bootstrap script in top rtems directory by
|
|
typing
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
If you wish to rebuild existing configure scripts type
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap -c
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Then create an or1k directory under the main rtems directory,
|
|
cd into this directory, and type
|
|
|
|
../configure --target=or1k --program-prefix=
|
|
|
|
Where "" represents the prefix you have assigned
|
|
to your or1k tools. For example, mine reads:
|
|
|
|
../configure --target=or1k --program-prefix=or32-rtems-
|
|
|
|
This should setup the makefiles necessary to create the package.
|
|
You can now simply type "make", which should build the bender support
|
|
package and the example tests.
|
|
|
|
If you don't happen to have a board available for this CPU, you
|
|
can run this against the architectural or1k simulator. There are
|
|
several ways to do this. The one which I have found most helpful
|
|
for debugging is to use it in gdb mode.
|
|
|
|
First, you'll need a console. The or1k simulator is currently
|
|
configured to open a serial port on /tmp/uart0.rx and /tmp/uart0.tx.
|
|
To use this as a normal console, you'll need to make these into
|
|
FIFOs. Do this by running the command:
|
|
|
|
mkfifo /tmp/uart0.tx
|
|
mkfifo /tmp/uart0.rx
|
|
|
|
You can now create an input and an output stream which you can see
|
|
by opening 2 windows. In the first window, type:
|
|
|
|
cat > /tmp/uart0.rx
|
|
|
|
In the other window, type:
|
|
|
|
cat < /tmp/uart0.tx
|
|
|
|
The "rx" window is where you will type, and the "tx" window will
|
|
print messages.
|
|
|
|
Next, start up the simulator by typing "sim -srv 7777". This assumes
|
|
or1ksim is in your path and that you want to start the gdb server on
|
|
port 7777.
|
|
|
|
You are now ready to load the code and run. To do this, type:
|
|
|
|
cd rtems-4.5.0/or1k
|
|
gdb bender/samples/hello.exe
|
|
|
|
Again, substitute your actual prefix for "". In my
|
|
case, this is "or32-rtems-". A log of this session is shown below. A
|
|
breakpoint has been placed on the exit function so that you can see
|
|
the exit code. Note that if you don't do this, there is no way to
|
|
automatically stop the process. It will simply appear to hang, and
|
|
gdb will never return.

On your "tx" window, you should see the following message:

Congratulations! You have just run a program under RTEMS on
|
|
the Or1k simulator! You can now write your own RTEMS code and
|
|
run it in the same way.
|
|
|
|
If you want, you can follow the same procedure to run the
|
|
regression test. This is found in the directory
|
|
or1k/bender/tests/base_sp.exe. Use the above instructions,
|
|
and replace bender/tests/base_sp.exe everywhere you see
|
|
bender/samples/hello.exe. It will test a large portion
|
|
of the RTEMS functionality. You should see the following
|
|
after executing this:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
*** SAMPLE SINGLE PROCESSOR APPLICATION ***
|
|
Creating and starting an application task
|
|
Application task was invoked with argument (0) and has id of 0x8010002
|
|
*** END OF SAMPLE SINGLE PROCESSOR APPLICATION ***
|
|

|
|
|
You should now have a good idea of how to run executables. It's
|
|
now up to you to start having fun with RTEMS. Good luck....
