[ECOS] Trouble with SCC3 on AdderII module

[ECOS] Trouble with SCC3 on AdderII module

[Paul Randall]

Hi All,

I have a A&M AdderII module and I am trying to communicate using the 
serial port.  The serial port on the AdderII uses SCC3 (the only SCC 
available on the MPC852T).  However, when I do a cyg_io_lookup( 
"/dev/scc3", &scc_handle ), the call fails becase SCC3 is not in the 
driver list.

I build eCos under Windows using the Configuration Tool.  I check the 
"Hardware serial device drivers" option and the "PowerPC QUICC/SCC 
serial port 3 driver" selection under it.

 From my experience using SCC1 on the Viper, I know the following line 
should be in the \pkgconf\system.h file:

#define CYGDAT_IO_SERIAL_DEVICE_HEADER 
<pkgconf/io_serial_powerpc_quicc_smc.h>

This line is not in the \pkgconf\system.h file for the AdderII, but I 
can't figure out why not.  This is preventing the 
pkgconf\io_serial_powerpc_quicc_smc.h file from being included in the 
\pkgconf\io_serial.h file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, you need to enable the serial drivers:
  cdl_component CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_DEVICES {
      user_value 1
  };

This did make it - at least to me - twice.  BTW - there is no reason
to send a whole .ecc file, you can use "ecosconfig export XXX" to 
glean the important details.

As for the problems with SCC3 - I'm looking at it now and hope to have
a solution later today.

I didn't see the problem you are reporting.  Except for a compile error
(which obviously you did not see), this worked for me:
  % ecosconfig new adderII net
  % ecosconfig import serial.ecm
  % ecosconfig tree
where 'serial.ecm' is:
  cdl_component CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_DEVICES {
      user_value 1
  };

The compile error is now fixed BTW - update your tree.

CAUTION: There is a current problem (BUG #90391) which says that if
you enable the serial device drivers on these platforms, it will hang.
That's only 50% true - if you enable the SMC1 driver then it hangs.
Leave it off and it will work fine.  For my testing, I also did this:
  cdl_component CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_POWERPC_QUICC_SMC_SMC1 {
      user_value 0
  };
