Would you please release runnable image directly?

[kobegpfan]

Hi,

I am a hardware engineer. To be frank, I care more about the usable
images than how to port the whole tool chain. Because for me, a
runnable image is the only thing I need.

So would you please release such images:
1. an "or1ksim + vmlinux" binary release, that will help me watch the
simulation output without install any tool chain.
2. a "vmlinux binary image", that will be loaded into memory, and can be
run by OR1200 (hardware) directly.

I think it is a request from a number of hardware engineers. We have
poor knowledge about porting tool chain and go on failing even spend
much time. Hope to get help from you.

Best regards

Kobe.

Fair enough.

For now:

ftp www.meansoffreedom.com
user: download
pw: download
cd: mof_orsoc

get vmlinux
get vmlinux.bin
get sim.cfg
get or32-uclinux-sim

I will talk to Marcus and Jeremy about posting a variety of versions
in the future. This stuff was built on a Red Hat box upon which I
tested before I posted. As usual can't guarantee it will work on your
(Ubuntu?)box.

BR,

Rich d

Hi Kobe,

I can provide a vmlinux image I built using Fedora 9 to run with Or1ksim
0.2.0 (patched) and OSCI SystemC.

My image was built to work with one specific configuration of the
architectural simulator. It will only work on an OpenRISC SoC with the
IDENTICAL architecture - same endianism, same number of registers, same
memory map, exactly the same peripherals with exactly the same register
maps at exactly the same addresses.

I would urge you to find a colleague who can build the Linux image for
you, so you can be sure that it is configured to match your hardware.
With the virtual image provided by OrSoc, the scripts from Rich D'Addio
and the application notes from Embecosm (see
http://www.embecosm.com/download.html) this is not difficult. I don't
think it is possible to get something as complex as Linux running on any
modern 32-bit SoC without some software expertise in the team.

There are a number of organizations (such as my own company, Embecosm)
which can provide this software expertise for your project on a
commercial basis. If you put a request for such help on the mailing
list, they'll get in touch.

Let me know if you would like me to provide the vmlinux and Or1ksim
0.2.0 image. Alternatively I can provide you with a simple "Hello World"
binary which can be loaded into physical memory at locations 0x0 through
0x124e. This may provide a more reliable method of checking that your
CPU is processing cycles.

I hope this helps.


Jeremy
