report by Nick.SIMON@syntegra.bt.co.uk:
TFTP uses UDP and UDP packets are prime targets for getting dropped when
the network gets busy. I want the number of retries quite large in my
application. I see that PACKET_REPLY_MILLISECONDS is, in fact, not
being used.
<corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>:
The patch below provides
* automake support for score/cpu/powerpc
* The hack to propagate values from *.cfg to automake configuration
* A fix for librdbg/powerpc/mcp750/Makefile.am (Was completely corrupted
before)
* Fixes some files which apparently where missing in
rtems-rc-19991123-rc-2.diff
* some minor configuration related patches

rm -rf ./c/src/exec/score/cpu/powerpc/wrap

Attention:
c/src/exec/score/cpu/[configure.in|aclocal.m4|configure] should be
removed after applying the patch.
Modifications had been made to the score/cpu/powerpc directory after
the snapshot this was based on. In particular, the mpc750 and
other_cpu directories had been renamed to new_exception_processing
and old_exception_processing. After this patch was applied, modifications
were made to account for this.

Notes:
* I don't see a possiblity to convert the powerpc subdirectory in its
current layout to automake the time being.
* Besides the fact that this subdirectory is not in single-tree building
layout, the actual showstopper is the ifeq $(RTEMS_CPU_MODEL),mpc750)
gmake-conditional in powerpc/Makefile.in, which automake (correctly)
refuses to handle.
* The problem is *not* specific to the powerpc. Other CPUs basically
have similar problems (SH:sh7032 vs sh7045, SPARC: erc32.h in
score/cpu/sparc), but have been lucky to get around real issues (cf.
configuration files below score/cpu/sh/).
* From a configuration focused POV this problem boils down to a
file/subdirectory selection problem:
ppc: 1 or others
sh: 1 out of 2
sparc: 1 out of 1
Automake's means to implement such behavior is using conditionals to be
evaluated at configuration-time. The old configuration scheme however
used make-time conditionals. The SH port was lucky to get around this
issue because it applies a selection from a limited set of possible
selections, the powerpc however applies a selection from an unlimited
set, based on data not being available at configuration time.
* Currently I only see two general solutions:
1) make RTEMS_CPU_MODEL available at configuration time, ie. replace
make-time configuration by configuration-time configuration
2) Perform the selection at build-time, i.e. always install all files,
but use #ifdef #else #endif in source files. This is what the m68k has
exploited at other locations inside of the source-tree.

which (among other things) converted the mptests to automake.
SUB_DIRS was used instead of SUBDIRS in some Makefile.ins
(apparently a leftover from moving the start* directories)
Addtional major bugs:
* psxtests/include was empty (incomplete psxtests changes).
* bogus handling of *.scn in itrontests (screens/sptests vs.
screens/itrontests installation dirs)
In addition I have added a few more changes (I couldn't resist)
* automake support for itrontests
* OPERATION_COUNT support in tmitrontests/
* automake support for tmitrontests
* automake suppport for mptests
* Some (minor) corrections to several configure.in/Makefile.ams
=> c/src/tests/ is completly under automake control, now.
=> we could start to sort out the structural issues with c/src/tests
(tests/support, stubdr, tools, get "make dist" working)
* the PACKHEX etc problem
* prevents the *.rels being removed inside the build-tree
* a typo which only shows for when MP is activated
* Alters some custom/*cfg files
.. a major configuration cleanup
... major enhancement of automake support.
... and it contains a *major* breakthough:
Automake support for libchip and libmisc *LEAF* directories.
To implement this I have used several nasty tricks
* The basical trick is to wrap an old Makefile.in's contents into a
Makefile.am and still continue to use (i.e include) the old
*.cfg files.
* Replaced each INSTALL_IF_CHANGE and INSTALL_VARIANT with make
dependencies
* Add a gnu-make ifdef AUTOMAKE to main.cfg to avoid conflicts between
automake and RTEMS make rules
* Replaced each install:: and preinstall:: rule with make dependencies
* Replaced SUB_DIRS with SUBDIRS in all Makefile.ins (Automake
convention)
* Removed each manually added autoconf substitution which automake
performs automatically.
This is not yet full automake support, because using the temporary
installation directory, preinstallation in general and building variants
are in contradiction to automake's basic working principles ...
... the new Makefile.ams work still somewhat clumsy
... nevertheless they work (quite well).
WARNING:
At first glance this patch is small, but
* it affects the whole configuration system.
* it opens the road to introducing automake to all Makefile.ins
currently not being under automake control.
JOEL> Does this remove or add any files?
Both, all Makefile.ins below libchip and libmisc get replaced with
Makefile.ams.
Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de> that adds initial Hitachi SH-2
support to RTEMS. Ralf's comments are:
Changes:
------
1. SH-Port:
* Many files renamed.
* CONSOLE_DEVNAME and MHZ defines removed from libcpu.
* console.c moved to libbsp/sh/shared, build in libbsp/sh/<BSP>/console
applying VPATH.
* CONSOLE_DEVNAME made BSP-specific, replacement is defined in bsp.h
* MHZ define replaced with HZ (extendent resolution) in custom/*.cfg
* -DHZ=HZ used in bspstart.c, only
* Makefile variable HZ used in bsp-dependent directories only.
2. SH1-Port
* clock-driver rewritten to provide better resolution for odd CPU
frequencies. This driver is only partially tested on hardware, ie.
sightly experimental, but I don't expect severe problems with it.
* Polling SCI-driver added. This driver is experimental and completly
untested yet. Therefore it is not yet used for the console (/dev/console
is still pointing to /dev/null, cf. gensh1/bsp.h).
* minor changes to the timer driver
* SH1 specific delay()/CPU_delay() now is implemented as a function
3. SH2-Port
* Merged
* IMO, the code is still in its infancy. Therefore I have interspersed
comments (FIXME) it for items which I think John should look after.
* sci and console drivers partially rewritten and extended (John, I hope
you don't mind).
* Copyright notices are not yet adapted
its name in the name_table. This was required by the POSIX semaphore
and message queue managers which support a concept of open, close, and
unlink. The object becomes "invisible" to further opens following an
unlink but all open sessions remain active until they are closed. This
requires that the removal of an object ID be separate from the removal
of its name.
