Here are some patches to the gen68360 BSP. The improvements include:
Boot prom run-time selection of DRAM size (1/4/16 Mbytes)
Full 32-bit ethernet address obtained from boot prom.
Updated README.
based on the GNU tools. This usually involved correcting the
type of bsp_start(), bsp_cleanup(), adjusting the start code to
call the right start routine (the shared boot_card()), and then
removing code from bsp_start() which was performed in the new
boot_card()/main() path.
Here is my attempt at bringing m68k.h into line with the predefined
symbols provided by egcs-1.0.2-prerelease (with R. Kirkham's patch so
that -mcpu32, etc. implies -msoft-float).
Here's another small patch. The changes to socket.h are to provide
some definitions that UNIX BSD socket programmers expect. The
memcpy.c contains a memcpy routine optimized for the CPU32+. When I
run the ttcp benchmark with this routine I get host->68360 transfers
around 165 kbytes/sec (about a 25% improvement) and 68360->host
transfers of around 290 kbytes/sec (about a 50% improvement).
While trying to work through this problem I decided that the
build-time selection of the console I/O operation (polling or
interrupt) was too clumsy. Here's a patch that allows run-time
(actually init-time) selection of the console I/O mode.
It also shows the need for another `flags' or `options' field in
the rtems_driver_address_table structure...
I've gone through and cleaned up the TFTP driver so that it fits
into the libio system. Here's the comment from the new driver:
/*
* Usage:
*
* To open `/bootfiles/image' on `hostname' for reading:
* fd = open ("/TFTP/hostname/bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*
* The `hostname' can be a symbolic name or four
* dot-separated decimal values.
*
* To open a file on the host which supplied the BOOTP
* information just leave the `hostname' part empty:
* fd = open ("/TFTP//bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*
*/
You can `fopen' TFTP files the same way:
fp = fopen (fullname, "r");
nread = fread (cbuf, sizeof cbuf[0], sizeof cbuf, fp);
The diff's are included below. I've also modified the TFTP demo
program and the bootstrap PROM example. They should be on my ftp
site `soon'.
The one thing I don't like is the way I had to do an end-run on the
libio routines to get errno passed back from my driver to the
application (since there are some errno codes that don't map to RTEMS
status codes). My approach was to set errno in the driver and have
the driver routine return an RTEMS status code that I `know' isn't in
the errno_assoc[] in libio.c.
Perhaps there should be an RTEMS_TRANPARENT_ERRNO status code (or
something similar) which driver routines could return to indicate
that the driver routine has set errno and that the libio routines
shouldn't attempt to map the returned status code to errno.
Actually, I think the entire I/O system needs looking at -- as
you've already mentioned. The hacks I've dropped in to syscalls.c to
make fstat work, for example, are *not* shining examples of good
code......
