[RTEMS/QORIQ] How to deploy RTEMS 5 on NXP T4240RDB / TFTP on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

If you are looking for RTEMS 4.11 installation on NXP T4240RDB, please refer to here.

You may need to generate t4240rdb.dtb by using the NXP sdk.
(It is an intermediate file...)

BSP is "qoriq_e6500_64"
Toolchain is powerpc-rtems5

I did the following steps:

  1. The command for building up the toolchain:
    ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --log=build-nxp-log.txt --prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/compiler/5 5/rtems-powerpc
  2. I did bootstrap in the source tree folder as stated in here. 
  3. The command for configuring the build up procedure:
    ../rtems-kuan/configure --target=powerpc-rtems4.12 --enable-rtemsbsp=qoriq_t4240rdb --enable-smp --enable-tests=yes --prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/4.12-powerpc"
  4. You can find out some testsuites executable are generated in "/home/khchen/repository/git/build-nxp-5/powerpc-rtems5/c/qoriq_e6500_64/testsuites/samples"
To wrap the executable as the loadable image, I use the following steps:

# powerpc-rtems5-objcopy -O binary 'hello.exe' 'hello.bin'
# gzip -f -9 'hello.bin'
# mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -a 0x4000 -e 0x4000 -n 'RTEMS' -d hello.bin.gz 'hello.img'

# cp hello.img /tftpboot

To load the kernel and dtb on the boards, I use the following commands:

tftp 1000000 hello.img
tftp c00000 t4240rdb.dtb
bootm 1000000 - c00000

Please note, if there is PANIC ERROR 0 in the end of execution, it is normal.
All termination paths end up here.

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...

[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

[RASP] VirtualBox Raspberry Pi debuging

This article is for the perspective that planning to debug Raspberry Pi connected to (Guest) Ubuntu Virtualbox with USBtoUART and Screen/terminal. There are two important issues that you may face: You cannot detect USB devices: You probably have a permission issue on your Virtual box. Add your user ID to group vboxusers with this command: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER , log off, log on and try again. http://askubuntu.com/questions/481693/virtualbox-usb-add-device-filter-does-not-work-under-14-04 You cannot listen the ttyUSB0: Your permission of (guest) account should be feasible to the ttyUSB0: sudo gedit /etc/group goto line... dialout:x:20: add your "username" dialout:x:20:username http://askubuntu.com/questions/40959/how-do-i-connect-to-tty-com-dev-ttyusb0 After that, then you can detect the plug-in usb on-the-fly or before open the virtual machine. Then, screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 (DON"T FORGET TO INSTALL VIRTUALBOX GUEST ADDITION PAC...
