[ECOS] question about stack assign for interrupt service routine.

[ECOS] question about stack assign for interrupt service routine.

[Tony Ko]

hi.
i understand new stack is assigned per thread.
then, what about interrupt?
is new stack  assigned per interrupt?

thanks in advance.

[ECOS] Question about Hello World eCos example

[Andre Sebastien]

Hi everybody

I build Hello example et run it on an PID board !!!

I use GCC 2.95.3 for arm-lib and eCos

For load the ELF i use a LAUTERBACH and JTAG link !!!
The software is T32

I connect the serial port A on a PC with an HYPER-TERMINAL
configured with 38400 bauds, 8bits,NO PARITY,NO CONTROL

i execute the program i receive on the HYPER-TERMINAL this :
$O48656C6C6F2C2065436F7320776F726C64212035200A#BB

if we interprets it as HEX CODE it be :
          $0
           0x48 0x65 0x6C 0x6C 0x6F 0x2C 0x20  = Hello,  (+ a backspace)

           0x65 0x43 0x6F 0x73 0x20 = eCos     (+ a backspace)
           0x77 0x6F  0x72 0x6C 0x64 0x21 0x20 = world!  (+ a backspace)

           0x35 0x20 0x0A  = 5 \n
           #BB

It s exactly that i try to print : printf("Hello, eCos world! %d \n",5);

PS: what is $0 and #BB at the beginning and the end of output ?

But never the program go out the function "printf", it seems to go in a
infinite loop !!!!!
What does it wrong ?

best regards.

Seb.

Not $0, but $O (O packet). The GDB protocol uses such packets to output text
non-related to GDB itself (e.g. your printf). The protocol also appends a
checksum to every packet, the #BB in your case.

It's waiting for an ack from the remote side of a GDB connection !!!!!

Try to set the option below in your ecos.ecc:

    cdl_component CYGDBG_HAL_DIAG_TO_DEBUG_CHAN {
        user_value 0
    };

[Andre Sebastien]

Thanks a lot Robin Farin and Rob Jansen !!

So now it s work nice !!! but Robin Farin what is exactly this component
CYDBG_HAL_DIAG_TO_DEBUG_CHAN ???
it seems to disable the GDB PROTOCOLS for the SERIAL ports ?


How can i know the behaviour of these components ?

thx.


Sebastien.

Start from your generated ecos.ecc, search for keywords, read the comments and
when you find something interesting, search the eCos CDL files in the "packages"
directory until you find the CDL file that define the interesting
component/option. Then look at the header & source files of the corresponding
package to see how the component/option parameterizes the package.

GDB debugging ... there is an option for mangling output in the .ecc, set
this to none..

On most targets there is a separate interrupt stack. But it is used for all
interrupts.

[ECOS] question about GCC for Arm Installation

[Grant Whitacre]

I recently downloaded and built the dev tools for Arm development -- GCC
(2.95.2), binary utilities (2.10.1) and insight (5.0).  Everything seems to
get built just fine but when I try to do a minimum eCos build with default
settings using the Configuration tool (1.3.1), I get error messages:

make[1]: Entering directory

I've followed the installation procedure exactly as described on the
"Building the ARM development tools for Windows" site.  I've also tried
upgrading to the latest versions of the tools (GCC-v3.0 and
binutil-v2.11.2), but I get the same results.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Do I need anything else - like newlib or gcc-g++?  (I tried to download the
latter but this folder on all the mirror sites was unavailable).

Thanks,
Grant

Those versions of tools should definitely not complain about those options.
It seems most likely you are somehow picking up other tools. Are you sure
that arm-elf-gcc is pointing to the right tools? Use "type -p arm-elf-gcc"
to check. Also make sure GCC_EXEC_PREFIX is unset in your environment.
