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=<your-or1k-prefix>
Where "<your-or1k-prefix>" 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
<your-or1k-prefix>gdb bender/samples/hello.exe
Again, substitute your actual prefix for "<your-or1k-prefix>". 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:
----
*** HELLO WORLD TEST ***
Hello World
*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***

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....
