CYGPKG_PDCURSES

This patch provides eCos package `CYGPKG_PDCURSES' to run the curses programs
under eCos.

Public Domain Curses project's home:
http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/

All stuff can be cloned or downloaded as an archive from my "sanctum sanctorum"
at bitbucked.org: http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos/

The implementation details are described in a document:
http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos/src/tip/implement.txt

A short guide how to test the package on Linux synthetic target:

Hello

I hope that now the PDCurses package can be a useful stuff for any eCos target
which has a serial port. That my first dummy driver was replaced by a real one:
serial terminal driver. It seems for me that in this state the package can be
placed in eCos CVS (IMHO).

The package's sources are placed under the bitbucket service:
http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos


SYNOPSIS

  hg clone http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos/
  cd pdcurses4ecos
  sh install.sh

  ecosconfig new <target>
  ecosconfig add pdcurses

Then import a option the below to build the PDCurses demos

  cdl_option CYGBLD_PDCURSES_DEMOS {
      user_value 1
  };

Change a eCos serial device for PDCurses programs, if it's needed:

  cdl_option CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_SERIAL_DEV {
      user_value "\"/dev/ser1\""
  };

default is "/dev/ser0".

The PDCurses driver works with a blocking and non-blocking read, but it's
useful to import

  cdl_option CYGOPT_IO_SERIAL_SUPPORT_NONBLOCKING {
      user_value 1
  };

too.

Then just type `make'. All demos should be under install/demos directory.

Note: I tested the package using LE targets only ARM and synthetic Linux
target. src/drivers/serial.c:PDC_check_key() uses macros which are endian
depended. So, I could not test them on BE target.

BTW, there is yet another tiny project which depends on the eCos PDCurses
package on bitbucket. It is a few my tweaks for the GNU Nano Editor:
http://bitbucket.org/tickling/gnunano4ecos/

Nano quite works on synthetic Linux target with ecosynthserial drivers and on
my ARM board. To compile the nano editor for eCos it's needed just to add
packages for default template:

  ecosconfig add fileio ramfs pdcurses

Once again, the PDCurses core itself is just 42K if I build it for ARM target
(ARM mode, !THUMB).

How does the patch/attachment you've provided relate to the bitbucket
repository?

I certainly don't want to have to install & learn new SCM tools, just to try
this!

I've generated the patch.

Also, I did want that anyone will look at some document before a trying the
PDCurses package (it is an off-side of the package; patch body, but it
describes some package's details):

John, thank you for your time.

I want to say that I did a few commits during these days. Those were small
fixes for big-endian targets.

Unfortunately, I have no BE target. The stuff was tested on ARM LE target and
Linux synthetic target. Thanks Steven Clugston (he has BE powerpc-based board)
I was able to get the mails from him about BE issues. Unfortunately, he is AFK
this week and I have not got yet a final verdict from him.

What will you prefer: 1) to wait the BE verdict, 2) new diff against that
patch, 3) new patch, or 4) mercurial's pull for changesets?

Thanks,
Sergei

One remark. The PDCurses sources itself are an endianess independent. The talk
is only about a byte order for a data for cyg_io_write() cyg_io_read() calls in
an eCos serial driver for PDCurses: src/drivers/serial.c.

So far, I have seen output from the "tuidemo" and "firework" demos. I can
navigate the menus and the fireworks are recognisable.

Sergei, correct operation of the demos seems to be dependent on resetting
minicom between each demo. Otherwise, no output is observed. Have you seen this
behaviour?

I am using eCos target pc_i82559 and minicom in VT102 mode.

A few comments so far:

The following CDL options need CDL "description" strings and should be "flavor
bool", not "flavor data":

 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_KEYPAD_KEYS
 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_ANSI_COLORS
 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_VT100_ATTR

I think it would be preferable (and more consistent with other eCos packages)
to build the demo programs as eCos tests under the control of the
CYGBLD_PDCURSES_DEMOS option. Something like this should work (untested):

 cdl_option CYGPKG_PDCURSES_TESTS {
   display "PDCurses tests"
   no_define
   flavor data
   calculated { CYGBLD_PDCURSES_DEMOS ? src/demos/xmas src/demos/... : "" }
 }

I used synth with ecosynthserial and olpce2294. I had not the same
issue. I ran minicom as `minicom -o -c on'. Then: "^A-T, A, C" for
colors. If you would have mercurial istalled...

AFAIR, I removed a non-blocking write from PDC_scr_open() then. Perhaps,
that is it. At the least in GNU nano is built with this package I can
press ^L to refresh screen.

Can you try the newest package?

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos/
cd pdcurses4ecos
sh install.sh

Steven Clugston did report that his target has a problem with those my

    cyg_io_get_config(handle, CYG_IO_GET_CONFIG_SERIAL_OUTPUT_DRAIN, NULL,
                      NULL);

But, my target has not the same problem.

Agreed. I'll fix it.

At first, I had the same thought, but then I thought that in a future
there can be a real small tests begin itself from CYG_TEST_INIT etc.
Because the drivers can be different, e.g. the keyless devices (LCD
screens). etc. But it is not issue and I can arrange it as you suggest.

I re-checked it again on olpce2294 in a batch mode as

for i in install/demos/* ; do arm-eabi-gdb $i ; done

Minicom had been opened in a separate tab as `minicom -o -c on' (ANSI mode,
Status line is disabled) and I had not seen your issue. Well, just now I used
the latest package version.

Then I re-run all as you: `minicom -o' (VT100, Status line is enabled). Of
course, no colors, but also no issue with a redrawing on _my_ target.

I attach my mini.ecm for a reference (SERIAL0 -- my GDB port, SERIAL1 --
PDCurses port).

Just a guess, may be that is RTSCTS? My ~/.minirc.dfl for the tests:

pu port             /dev/ttyS0
pu baudrate         38400
pu statusline       disabled
pu rtscts           No
pu xonxoff          No

My target does not support RTSCTS and I do not turn it on.

CYGPKG_PDCURSES

The PDCurses demos were moved into the package's tests directory. The absent
descriptions in CDL were added.

The package's CDL, ChangeLog, etc. were updated to be suitable for new
organization.

All stuff was re-tested on an ARM-7 LE target.

Sergei, the PDCurses package contains the MANEXT tool in the utils directory
which is licensed under the GPL but is "Copyright (C) 1991-1996 Mark Hessling".
I think we can simply omit the utils directory within the eCos port.

There is no need for an updated patch.

Thank you, I missed that.

Yet another thing. What do you think, May be that all src/ecos stuff is odd
stuff. In fact, it sets up a PDCECOS thread like MW does. But, perhaps, it is
odd thing for curses event loop... What is your look/taste?

The src/ecos/ code serves as a useful example of how to implement a real-world
PDCurses application under eCos but it could be seen as unnecessarily
restrictive. Perhaps better to drop CYGBLD_PDCURSES_ECOS, place the src/ecos/
code in a separate examples/ directory within the PDCurses package and provide
a simple makefile similar to /opt/ecos/ecos-3.0/examples/Makefile in order to
build it.

It is good idea! Thank you, I will rework the package ASAP, re-test it and let
you know.

Thanks for looking into this. I cannot reproduce the problem today. If I see it
again, we can treat it as any other bug report. I don't think it should delay
the contribution.

Great!

Some minor niggles:

* The ChangeLog, HISTORY, IMPLEMNT and README files should be in the
  "pdcurses/current/" directory.

* Please ensure you have included some comment about the precise PDCurses
  version you have ported. I could not find a version string but I did not
  look very hard.

* The empty "define_proc" in the CDL script can be removed.

* For compatibility with the eCos Configuration Tool, the list of tests in
  CYGPKG_PDCURSES_TESTS should not include the ".c" suffix:

     tests/firework tests/newdemo ...

With the above changes and the change described in comment #15 I think
contribution this will be ready for check-in.

Thank you, for your careful look! Tonight, I will fix this all, re-test the
package, and post a final (I hope) patch against CVS HEAD via BMS.

Created an attachment (id=714)
 --> (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/attachment.cgi?id=714)
CYGPKG_PDCURSES

This is the workaround for the comments #15, #18 from John Dallaway.
ChangeLog regenerated. The package (the demos and example of PDCurses+eCos
application) were re-tested on ARM-7 LE target. I have not seen any issues.

I put a simple Makefile and README in examples directory. If README will seem 
too bloat for you feel free to cut any lines or just remove it.

Done. ChangeLog regenerated.

I used the latest stable version of the PDCurses. This is v 3.4:
http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/

and `include/curses.h' contains

#define PDC_BUILD 3401

The PDCurses sources were tweaked a very few (if you desire you can brief look
at the latest chapter: "The tweaks") from here
http://bitbucket.org/tickling/pdcurses4ecos/src/tip/implement.txt

Sergei, I've only just noticed that most of the eCos-specific files have plain
GPL copyright banner (without the exception clause):

[jld@cog pdcurses]$ grep -r COPYRIGHTBEGIN *
current/cdl/pdcurses.cdl:## ####ECOSGPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN####
current/ChangeLog:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN####             
current/src/drivers/serial.c:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN####
current/examples/pdcecos_app.c:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN#### 
current/examples/pdcecos_thread.c:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN#### 
current/examples/pdcecos_init.c:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN#### 
current/examples/pdcecos_app.h:// ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN#### 
[jld@cog pdcurses]$ 

These files must be licensed under the eCos public license as a matter of
policy and should therefore all use the ECOSGPLCOPYRIGHT banner (as used in
pdcurses.cdl). Would you like to change the banners in the other 6 files or
shall I change them on your behalf?

Ups. Of course I kept in mind eCos Public License, usualy I grab the banners
from somewhere inside eCos repository. Never look on the 'shas' insides. Can
you, please, fix the banners properly? May be just replace all by new banners.
If you have no time, I will fix it, yust to point where to get the good
examples for TCL/C/H sources?
