[ECOS] Problem with Hello world

[ECOS] Problem with Hello world

[LONY David]

Hi all,

I'm new to ecos and I've have some problem with the Hello World program 
on Linux Synthetic Target (default template). I'm sucessfully compile 
eCos on the configtool with these options :
-Wall -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wundef -Woverloaded-virtual -g -O2 
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -fvtable-gc
for Global Compiler Flags

and

-g -nostdlib -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-static
for Global Linker Flags

then i compile a small program :

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
 printf("Hello, eCos world!\n");
 return 0;
}

like this : gcc -g -ILinux_install/include main.c -LLinux_install/lib 
-Ttarget.ld -nostdlib
then I try to debug the final executable with gdb like that :

does I make something wrong ?

eCos 2.0 is very, very old. First i suggest you update to anoncvs.

Re: [ECOS] Problem with Hello world

[David LONY]

Ok I will upgrade my version of eCos. But I have to compile it ? I will 
only download the source of eCos ?
To install eCos on my PC, I used the script  ecos-install.tcl and I just 
update my PATH and export some variable...

Thanks you for all

You can keep the host tools if they are working O.K. for you. But you
need to compile eCos itself new.

Re: [ECOS] Problem with Hello world

[David LONY]

Fantastic!!!!
It works well!!!
I upgrade to the next version and after compile the library I can 
compile my Hello World program and see the output.
I used the Linux Synthetic template with default profile on my Linux 
distro (Fedora Core 4). But, if I use the same template on cygwin, It 
will work?

However, I have another question... It is possible to use the Linux 
Synthetic template and compile eCos for ARM ?
I just have to change the compiler (gcc -> arm-elf-gcc) and compile my 
Hello World again (with the good compiler) ?

If not, does the configtool program contains a ARM profile (template) 
which allow me to test the same Hello World but for ARM processor ?

Thanks you Andrew for all.
Best regards.

So you want to cross compile a Linux binary on cygwin. In theory, it
should work, but i see no sane reason to do it.

No. The target is hardware target dependent. You need to configure
eCos for your specific ARM platform. What development board are you
using.

I tried to compile eCos on cygwin but I obtain an error :

I just change in Global Build Options -> Global command prefix -> 
"empty", because I don't have i686-pc-linux-gcc (I tried with 
i686-pc-cygwin but I don't have i686-pc-cygwin-ar)

I don't have any ARM platform... Only a ARM compiler (arm-elf-gcc) and 
another tools like arm-elf-run or arm-elf-gdb.
So, it is not possible to configure my profile to compile for an ARM 
platform but without a specific ARM hardware?

So you are trying to compile with the native cygwin tools. I've no
idea if that will work.

So pick any of the arm targets.

Re: [ECOS] Problem with Hello world

[David LONY]

Yes I tried to compile with native cygwin tools but it seem to not work...
I will compile another version of gcc toolchain.. (it is perhaps the 
version of these tools which are too old)

But for the ARM question...
I compile eCos with the ARM7TDMI template but when I compile my hello 
world program I can't see the output.
It is normal ?

I compile my program like that :
arm-elf-gcc -g -I arm7tdmi_install/include test.c -Larm7tdmi_install/lib 
-Ttarget.ld -nostdlib

And I try to debug it like that :
$ arm-elf-gdb -quiet
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from /home/lony/a.out...done.
(gdb) target sim
Connected to the simulator.
(gdb) load

7       return 0;

9       }
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/lony/a.out

Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5       printf("Hello\n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.

But I never get my "Hello", whats wrong? Do you have any idea?

Thanks you.
Best regards

Why do you want to compile it using the native tools?

Does the simulator simulate the serial port? Which serial port does it
simulate? Is there a device driver for the serial port?

I'm a newbie under ARM questions... I just want to know if it possible 
to compile eCos for ARM (with arm-elf-gcc) and seems to the Linux 
Synthetic target debug it with arm-elf-gdb and see an output when I 
compile a Hello world application? Does I need a simulator (like qemu or

So you need to build a cross compiler, since the cynwin tools are
going to produce a MS binary which is not going to run on Linux.
You need a Linux toolchain which runs on cygwin.

qemu or vmware will give you i386 environments, not ARM, so they are
no use to you. You probably want to either use the synthetic target on
Linux, or use a real ARM development board which eCos supports.

If it helps, skyeye [ http://www.skyeye.org/index.shtml ] is capable of
emulating some popular ARM Cores, boards built around them and run eCos
on top.

This thread
[ http://lists.gro.clinux.org/pipermail/skyeye-developer/2006-September/001029.html ]
claims to describe building skyeye for cygwin and might be of benefit
too.

I don't want to cross compile for Linux. I want to compile eCos under 
Cygwin. But I don't know why the build of eCos doesn't work...
Does I need to compile it under Linux ?

Qemu will emulate an ARM.  It will emulate either an Arm
Integrator/CP or an ARM Versatile baseboard.  Both emulations
include serial ports, Ethernet, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, and LCD
controllers.

Qemu certainly should be.

Doesn't eCos uspport the ARM Integrator?

You said you wanted to compile the Linux Synthetic Target on Cygwin.
As the name suggests, this is for Linux. So if you want to build it on
Cygwin, you will need to cross compile it. This is very unusual, which
is why i originally asked why you wanted to do this. The way this
conversation is going makes me think you miss understand what the
Linux synthetic target is. It allows you to run eCos on top of linux
instead of on real hardware. It will only work on Linux. It will not
work on cygwin. There is no cygwin synthetic target. There is no M$
Windows Synthetic target. So if you want to run a synthetic version of
eCos on top of another operating system, it currently has to be Linux.

You said you did.  Look at the first quoted paragraph above.
You state you want to use the Linux synthetic target. That
means you need to cmpile for Linux.

> I want to compile eCos under Cygwin.

For what target?  You need a Cygwin-hosted cross compiler for
the desired target.  Above you stated you wanted to build eCos
for the Linux synthetic target, so you need a Cygwin-hosted,
Linux-targetted cross compiler.

> But I don't know why the build of eCos doesn't work...

Because it appears you were using a Cygwin targetted compiler
(one that produces Win32 binaries instead of Linux ELF
binaries).  That won't work.

> Does I need to compile it under Linux ?

It's certainly a lot easier to build eCos under Linux, but you
don't have to.  You do have to compile it with an appropriate
cross-compiler.

Upps, sorry. My error. I was thinking of that old dos extender which
has a similar name..., not that i can remember its exact name, now
that i think about it.

So.. I just need to compile eCos with the ARM 7 TDMI INTEGRATOR template 
(with the Redboot profile), with all options to default (compiler = 
arm-elf-gcc....etc)
Then I use arm-elf-objcopy to copy the elf to a bin format... and just 
use Qemu-arm with good options ? It will work?

What is the ARM Integrator?

Dosemu?  http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/

It did 16-bit DOS emulation as it ran in virtual 8086 mode (it
emulated some common protected mode DOS extensions). All in
all, it was a pretty cool hack.  I used it for years to run the
DOS version of the software to control a 68HC11 in-circuit
emulator.

I've wondered if the ARM Integrator HAL would run on the Qemu
Integrator.  The Qemu Integrator platform is for the
Integrator/CP board (an ARM926E or ARM1026E).  

Unfortunately the eCos page doesn't say which board it supports
(there are about a half-dozen different "Integrator" boards). I
haven't found anything in the HAL sources, cdl, or Changelog
that specifies which board it's for.  Does anybody know what
board(s) the "Integrator" HAL supports?

Some concrete info on what board a HAL is for (e.g. an actual
part or model number) sure would be a good thing to put into
the CDL...  ;)

How I can build an eCos kernel which will work on Qemu (ARM) ?
Does anybody make it before ?

Best regards.

Possibly.  As I pointed out in a different posting, there are a
bunch of different "Integrator" boards, and there's nothing in
the eCos docs which says which "Integrator" it's for.

In the worst case, I would think the Integrator HAL would work
with Qemu's Integrator/CP emulation with some minimal amount of
tweaking.

Go read the Qemu link I posted.  

Learn how to use Google.  

Read.

That may have appeared to be a bit harsh.  If so, you might
