Hi Bart,

Thanks for sharing the info. I have just got Redhat Linux 9 install on my 
machine.. Let me try it & update you.

Thanks,

Yes, When using the GUI tool it is always best to wait until after
adding any packages or ECMs to resolve conflicts. I use the
commandline tool, which behaves this way by default.

Yes, it's a generated file, like all the others in the pkgconf
directory.

I got this too. I believe it is the result of a benign bug in the BFD
library.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

Hi Nick,

>there. Did you get any error messages during the configuration?
>

Yea, after I chose the template & reboot packages, configtool reported 
config conflict & suggested 5 options & I chose them all without paying much 
atttension.

This time I chose not to resolve the conflict by choosing "none" & then I 
imported the reboot_ROM.ecm, the conflict got automaticaly resolved & 
io_flash.h got generated. I guess I should pay more attension while 
resolving conflicts.

<worst things was> I searched for io_flash.h in ecos source rep. & didn't 
find it there. & searched for the key "io_flash.h" & didn't find it on any 
.cdl.  But, now I understant it
line from io_flash.cdl: puts $::cdl_header "#include <pkgconf/system.h>"
cdl_header == io_flash.h in this case


One more thing:
I get these warnings.
BFD: /root/ecos_proj/mips/redboot_install/bin/redboot.img: warning:

I just tried this, also out of a freshly updated anoncvs checkout, and
had no problem. pkgconf/io_flash.h is definitely present.

Did you use the redboot template and import the correct .ecm file? A
missing io_flash.h implies that the CYGPKG_IO_FLASH package is not
present. Check the start of the ecos.ecc file to see whether it is
there. Did you get any error messages during the configuration?

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi,

Today when I tried building reboot for my Atlas 4Kc board, it wouldn't 
build. I get an error, "io_flash.h" not found.

FYI: I am building it out of current CVS rep. source.

packages/devs/flash/mips/atlas/current/src/atlas_flash.c includes 
<cyg/io/flash.h>
& packages/io/flash/v2_0/include/flash.h includes <pkgconf/io_flash.h>

io_flash.h such file is not present in the source tree and also is not 
getting generated by a .cdl

Did I miss something?

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi all,

To work with Redboot's menu I needed a serial com utility (like the windows 
Hyperterminal). I tried minicom. Configured for /dev/ttyS1, 115200 bauds & 
no hardware handshaking (PC has COM1 port). Nothing seems to work. Can any 
one suggest a method to debug this issue? Or any other utility.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Just resaving the file would update the timestamp and ensure a rebuild so

Hi Jonathan, Nick & Bart,

Thanks a lot all of you.

I did something <build for Malta & played with vecotr.s> & magicaly the 
error disappeared. I need to verify this on another machine.

Cool! for now I was able to run the example programs on my Atlas board, 
Final!

Thanks & Cheers,

I don't know exactly why this is happening but those missing functions are 
only meant to be defined in ROM startup. Somehow vectors.S is including 
the hal/mips/atlas/current/include/platform.inc file with 
CYG_HAL_STARTUP_ROM defined. That should never happen. Have a look at the 
install/include/pkgconf/hal.h file and see what it actually says, or try 
to work out why it thinks it's defined.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks a lot for the info. But in the Package manager under "Kernel 
Development" only TCL is optional the other stuffs are under defualt & there 
is no option to pick just TCL. But for now I have more pressing issues.

In the ecos configtool I chose Atlas 4Kc Template & just modified the 
Start-up Type to RAM (ROM is the default). If I build it I get the following 
errors:

make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/michaelanburaj/ecos/atlas4kc/test_build/hal/common/current'

Is RAM start-up supported for Atlas 4Kc boards? Or did I miss somethings 
here?

-Mike.

You shouldn't need the linux source. You should be able to remove that 
using something like "rpm -e kernel-source". You probably selected all the 
kernel development packages, not just TCL so there's probably more than 
that you can get rid of if you know what was installed.

> Please let me know why the installation with

It's evidently not compatible with Red Hat Linux 9, and/or doesn't provide 
a libtcl.so that the config tool requires sorry.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi,

I uninstalled TCL/TK that I installed earlier using 
ActiveTcl8.4.2.0-linux-ix86.tar.gz

Then from the RedHat linux's Package manager chose "Kernel Development" 
which also included TCL+Shared libraries. Eureka! Configtool worked after 
installing this package.

But this package contains a whole lot of other unwanted stuffs (for now) 
like the linux source & some stuff. This is taking most of my free disc 
space.

Please let me know why the installation with 
ActiveTcl8.4.2.0-linux-ix86.tar.gz did not work?
If not, let me know the URL for the TCL+shared libraries installation 
package & the name of the tar or zip or rpm file for the same.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi,

I installed ecos configtool, tcl/tk & wxGTK on Redhat Linux 9... still I am 
getting the following error message:

$ configtool
Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno or _res directly. 
Needs to be fixed.
configtool: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so: cannot open 
shared
object file: No such file or directory

Let me know what is missing here.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Which command prompt? There is an assumption that the cygwin bin

automatically. This should happen automatically if you run cygwin
bash. If you use some other command shell then you'll need to update
your PATH.

I suspect you are running under W98. Recent versions of the cygwin dll
appear to cause problems for W98 users, with the various
cross-compilers failing in different ways. One possibility is to
revert to an earlier cygwin dll such as 1.3.18 (the version used to
build the toolchains), although that may cause problems with other
recent cygwin packages that depend on cygwin > 1.3.18. Another
possible workaround is to rebuild the cross-compiler

believed that that will bypass the cygwin changes that causes the

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

I have got cygwin installed at c:\cygwin
& mipsisa32-elf at c:\gnutools\

Question1:
When I ran mipsisa32-elf-gdb from the command prompt, it said cygwin1.dll is 
missing. Then I had to copy this from the c:\cygwin\bin to 
C:\gnutools\mipsisa32-elf\bin
Is the gnutools package missing cygwin1.dll? Or is something wrong with my 
installation?

Question2:
I opened ecos cfg_tool 2.11 & chose MIPS atlas 4Kc template & tried building 
the libraries, I got an error saying make was missing, Then I had to copy 
make.exe from my old mipsisa32-elf tools 
(C:\mips3264-020217\H-i686-pc-cygwin\bin to C:\gnutools\mipsisa32-elf\bin).
Again Is the gnutools package missing make.exe? Or is something wrong with 
my installation?

Question3:

Some things have changed. I recently brought the Atlas port up to full
eCos specification, it was RedBoot only before. However, these changes
were not drastic, just some relatively minor tweaks.

It looks to me like your toolchain is out of date. We are now moving
over to a 3.x based toolchain, it probably has some different
options. There are now prebuilt downloadable versions of the tools for
mipsisa32-elf. Follow the links from the eCos web site download
section to find them (I'm not online at present, so I cannot give you
the URL).

It's all set up to use the DbgSer channel by default. That's all
that's currently supported. The PdSer port is driven by the SAA9730
while the DbgSer port is driven by a separate 16550 UART. We currently
use the SAA9730 only for the ethernet device, and the infrastructure
is not present to handle the serial device.

Just DbgSer I suspect.

Yep. A year is a long time in software. :-)

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi all,

After a year I am back to work on the MIPS atlas port for my personal Atlas 
board.

I pulled the ecos source from the CVR repository using ecos as Tag.

I feel that some things have changed drastically. I tried building the 
example code (hello.c).

Problems I faced:

1. Compilation error with the math lib files.
Workaround: I disabled the Math library to get passed this.

2. Linker options –fatal-warnings not recognized by ld.
Workaround: I changed “-WI, –fatal-warnings” to “-WI”.... This option is 
under infra build options >> Additional linker flags.

3. When I ran the hello example program (with the terminal utility connected 
to the Serial0 & Serial1 at 115200 bauds).

Observation: Serial0: sent a GDB packet, & Serial1: nothing

When I looked at the build options under ecos HAL >> MIPS architecture >> 
Atlas eval board >> no of comm channels on the board == 1.

I would think it to be 2. Why?

ecos HAL >> MIPS architecture >> Atlas eval board >> Debug serial port & 
Diagnostic serial port are both configured to be 0.

Note: In the past I have seen printfÂ’s sending stuff though one of the 
Serial ports.


Does somebody have an explanation for these changes that I see? Or did I use 
the wrong tag (‘ecos’) to pull the source?


Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

It might be, that Your timer tick interrupt doesnt work. First check if the 
interrupts work?

And : if You build ROM code, You must enable the following:
  CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_INIT_WHOLE_TABLE

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Mike A]

Hi,

I could run the examples from ecos package 1.3 (hello, serial, simple-alarm 
& twothreads) on my ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc) board. The ecos repository is in sync. 
with the latest source using wincvs.

All these examples were built for the ROM with the ROM start-up & ran 
Standalone (ROMable code) out of Flash. I found some problems while running 
them. It was evident while running simple-alarm & twothreads images. There 
seems to be some problem with the system tick timer. I believe task 
switching is not happening due to this & also the OS timers are not ticking. 
I am still to work on this & get closer to the problem.

If any of you have a clue on this, please share with me. Thanks a lot.

Cheers!!
-Mike.

Just do a "make tests" in the configuration tool and select the appropriate 
CYG_HAL_STARTUP_RAM or CYG_HAL_STARTUP_ROM (also in configuration tool).

In the install subdirectory of Your configuration tool project, there will be 
many test binaries (for ROM startup) or many elf images(eg for RAM startup).

Since I dont use Windows for my eCos development platform, I can't tell You 
really how the Windows configuration tool works, but nevertheless I suggest:

 Try to build RedBoot for Your target with CYG_HAL_STARTUP_ROM enabled, first!
Then You will be able to use GDB or Insight to download test applications 
built with CYG_HAL_STARTUP_RAM enabled and debug them.

 Maybe somebody else, familiar with Windows version of eCos configtool will 
help You build the RedBoot for Your target. But first read about RedBoot 
here: <http://www.redhat.com/embedded/technologies/redboot/>

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

Hi, Iztok,

Thanks a lot for You & Nick Garnett... for all the helpful tips.

At last I am able to build the ecos library sucessfuly. As you said I had to

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Mike A]

Hi,

With much effort I have installed the following on my Win98 machine:
GNUpro (for MIPS): C:\redhat\mips3264-010729\
ecos (with HAL for ATLAS_4Kc): C:\myrep\ecos\
ecos configuration tool ver 2.08

Then I opened the template for MIPS ATLAS_4Kc & saved it to 
C:\myrep\examples\test\test.ecc

Builds tools path: C:\redhat\mips3264-010729\H-i686-pc-cygwin\bin
User tools path (the sde package had the utilits like cat.exe): C:\sde4\bin

Now I tried building the library... I got some errors

output window:
make -j1 --directory "/ecos-c/myrep/examples/test/test_build"

make: Entering directory `/myrep/examples/test/test_build'
make -r -C hal/common/current headers
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/myrep/examples/test/test_build/hal/common/current'
make[1]: chmod: Command not found
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/myrep/examples/test/test_build/hal/common/current'
make[1]: *** 
[/ecos-c/myrep/examples/test/test_install/include/cyg/hal/dbg-threads-api.h] 
Error 127
make: Leaving directory `/myrep/examples/test/test_build'
make: *** [headers] Error 2

Why is it prefixing /ecos-c/ to myrep? It should be C:\...

Can any one walk me through the steps to build a sample ecos application & 
run it out of RAM over YAMON (srec downloadable using "load asc:" command 
over tty0)?

Thanks for this Great help!!!
-Mike.

Re: [ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Mike A]

Hi,

I installed Wincvs 1.3 & Python on the Win98 machine.

CVS Repository Configuration
Authentication: pserver
Path: /cvs/ecos
Host address: source.redhat.com
User name: anoncvs

Login
User password: anoncvs

Create >> chechout module
Module name & path on server: ecos
Local folder to check out to: C:\
After I cliecked ok this checked out a lot of files under
C:\ecos\CVS ,
C:\ecos\doc ,
C:\ecos\examples &
C:\ecos\packages

after some time it gave an error message like this & stopped,
cvs95 [checkout aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****


Then I closed & try this again. This time I get the error message only, 
below is the capture of the error message window:

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
CVSROOT: anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos (password authentication)
TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter)
cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:2401/cvs/ecos

*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

cvs checkout -P ecos (in directory C:\)
cvs95 checkout: in directory .:
cvs95 [checkout aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****



Please help me through this. Thanks a lot.

-Mike.

You will need to use version 2 - there are both Atlas and Malta board
ports in there. Beware that most of the work for these boards was for
RedBoot only. The eCos ports were incidental. I believe they work,
but there are no guarantees.

[ECOS] ecos for ATLAS (MIPS 4Kc)

[Mike A]

Hi,

I just installed ecos 1.31 & I have GNUpro for the MIPS procesor. I have a 
ATLAS (4Kc MIPS) board & though of trying ecos on it. I don;t think ecos 
1.31 has a port (or the HAL) for ATLAS. Can anyone help me get the port for 
ATLAS & some example builds?

Thanks a lot...
-Mike.
