Please find attached a start.s that includes a cli prior to the hlt
instruction. This ensures that external interrupts cannot restart
the system after returning to the startup code. ( According to the hlt
docs, they will! )
Also find a new timer.c. ( I forgot to update the countdowm value
in the timer when I changed the PSCLK frequency in start.s) . This
improves timer accuracy.
The raw_idt_notify messages are no longer infinite, I tested sp11 and
sp05, both which were bad, and I have seen the message print once in
one test. I think it's ok if it prints out once. In fact, I don't
think you can effectively stop it!
Please find attached the two files that have been changed relative to
980921 . The changes here are in the handling of the counter-timer used
as the basis for the rtems executive clock. For the most part, these
are housekeeping changes.
The PSCLK frequency change in start.s... was a part of several
bug-fixes. The fix improves executive clock and timer accuracy.
changes :
start.s -- All timers are disabled by the initialization routine
-- PSCLK ( used by clock and timers ) frequency changed to 1MHz
The clock_initialize routine now assumes that the PSCLK frequency is
exactly 1 MHz.
ckinit.c
Clock_isr -- removed division by 1000. Now use 'static'
variable -- clock_intial_isr_value -- to reset Clock_isrs variable.
clock_initialize -- moved counter timer initialization here. Values
used to configure the timer are totally dependent on
BSP_configuration.microseconds_per_tick ( and the PSCLK assumption).
Initializes clock_initial_isr_value used by th Clock_isr to reset
Clock_isrs.
clock_on -- no longer configures the timer, just enables it.
Since altering the number of sections in the BSP, I decided to give it a
good "once over" . The clock handling is now cleaner.
1. Finally fixes raw interrupts for pc386
2. Makes some minor cleanup in console and startup
3. Makes rtems_termios_dequeue_characters() to return count of
outstanding chars - it allows to simplify console isrs a little
bit.
4. pc386 uart modified to be friendlier to termios parameter changes,
to have minor performance improvement and to take advantage of
of above termios modification.
Here's a patch to make the rtems_showroute routine a little more
useful. For `host' route table entries the link-level address is now
displayed. This is equivalent to the old `show arp table'
information displayed by the KA9Q code.
Here are patches that bring 980911 back to what I think is a correct
version of raw IDT management as well as a correct initialisation
of video console and rtems managed interrupts.
I fixed the problems noted by Victor Vengerov.
1) Fix typo in cfsetispeed().
2) In rtems_termios_open, ensure that args->iop->data1 is set before calling
device-specific open routine.
I've fixed a few minor probs with the optimised version that Eric put
together for me the other day and sent the fixes back to him. Provided he
doesn't have a problem with it we've got a pretty solid in_cksum for the
ColdFire as well as straight m68k. I've enclosed my updated in_cksum_m68k.c
At the moment my own bottlenecks are elsewhere...as my driver is pulling
16bit data chunks through a libchip-esq access routine from the chip which
for a polled I/O device is never going to be quick.
I have managed to build the bsp ods68302 and the rtti test case I made
with egcs-1.1b and binutils-2.9.1.
I have built our C++ application and got no link errors so it looks like
this is now working. I am yet to test the code but getting the thing to
link was the problem.
Please find a patch attached which removes the -fno-rtti option.
in a previous patch. Comments from Eric:
patch_com2 was before your own fixes of raw IDT vector management
routine.
It mainly use human readable constants for the serial line driver code
+ the patch you gave me for com2 write routine.
I applied your patch for raw IDT mngt on top of that. Then made minor
cleaning in patch_idt_mngt. I hope this helps.
After some good comments from Eric Norum [thanks, Eric !],
I have added some modifications to my previous driver patch :
- wait for transmitter ready before sending a packet,
- new delay management in case of ring-overwritting.
