[LEGONXT] cannot find -llejososek / library missing

From my article last year, I have shown how to build up the source tree for the legacy of NXT source code. With the proper configuration, i.e., set up the path for ARM cross compiler in toolgcc.mak, directly under the sample folder, we should be able to compile the source code and integrate them with the essential kernel objects.

However, someone asks me that why he did some implementation in ecrobot sources and the compiler reports that those new implemented functions are not applicable, i.e., undefined. It is because that all the additional static libraries (those files with extension .a) are required to be compiled in advance before compiling the test suites/samples.

There are some known issues which are solved:
  1. cannot find -llejososek
    This can be solved by compiling the source in folder e.g., "nxtOSEK_proj/c++/src". liblejososek.a will be generated in the parent folder, e.g., "nxtOSEK_proj/c++/"
  2. new implemented functions in ecrobot are undefined
    This can be solved by compiling the corresponding code in ecrobot folder. For example, libnxtway_gs_balancer.a need to be generated by compiling to source in the sub folder nxtway_gs_balancer. libnxtway_gs_balancer.a will be generated in ecrobot folder.
Remark (ref):
.a files are static libraries typically generated by the archive tool. You usually include the header files associated with that static library and then link to the library when you are compiling.
Use command ar can see the content inside. It is usually the correction of .o:
ar tv foo.a

RSB+RTEMS 5/6 with QEMU-SMP (ARM realview_pbx_a9_qemu as example)

Since I got a request regarding this blog  written in 2016, summarizing again the complete flow with the latest version of RTEMS could be a good idea. Prepare a suitable workspace according to the adopted operating system on your host ( https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/index.html ):  sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential gcc-defaults g++ gdb git unzip pax bison flex texinfo unzip python3-dev libpython-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev Checkout RSB and build: git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git rsb change directory to rsb/rtems/ and type ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=<the path you like to store the built toolchains> <the name of bsp> For example, to use QEMU, I need toolchains for ARM, so: ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=/home/kh.chen/respository/build/. 6/rtems-arm This will take a while. Please ensure your connection is reliable. Add the built folder into your PATH. For example, you can add one line in ~/.bas...

[LEGOEV3] About Ev3dev kernel upgrading, real-time operating system, and bugs in 4.10 linux kernel.

By following the tutorial in Ev3 , one who is interested to run Linux on Ev3 should be able to have Debian with 3.16.7 linux kernel with the internet feature. For the research/lecture usage, I start to patch 4.10 Linux kernel and litmus-RT on it. I will list and update the possible delights for some of students who are just starting to develop Linux kernel stuffs. If in Ev3dev wget fails, please add on --no-check-certificate in the option before the download link. Ref: http://www.tecmint.com/install-kernel-3-16-in-debian/ As far as we can find, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGy5XrI6lLs provides the video about how to patching Linux kernel for LitmusRT. The tutorial in installation page ( https://wiki.litmus-rt.org/litmus/InstallationInstructions ) is missing the command for the newbie who is lacking experience of linux tools: sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package \ libncurse5-dev bzip2 fakeroot \ And use the following command for wrapping the kernel as deb pac...

[ubuntu] Removing the instance/package which is not fully installed from apt-get

When I'm installing g77-3.4 for pgplot, I trivially use dkpg to install it. However, g77-3.4-doc is not able to fully installed. And I stuck for this kind of error due to the broken packages (refer to here ): dpkg: error processing realplayer (--configure/--purge/--remove): (Whatever messages) Errors were encountered while processing: g77-3.4-doc cd /var/lib/dpkg/info sudo rm g77-3.4-doc* sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq g77-3.4-doc Hmm, now apt-get works well again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HJ-iAzf3k
