+Getting started with EVB7045F and gensh2
+========================================
+This is a capture of success path to put a RTEMS sample
+'hello.exe' on the evaluation board EVB7045F.
+
+ What you need
+---------------
+ * Computer with two operating systems: Linux and Wndows 2000 (tm) -
+ that was in my case (see section 'Variations')
+
+ * Flash Development Toolkit (FDT) - available on HMSE homepage
+ (http://www.hmse.com/products/fdt/support.htm)
+
+ * 'gdbstubs' - available on SourceForge
+ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdbstubs/)
+
+ * working GNU C compiler for Hitach SH processors; do-it-yourself
+ (on Linux) or download ready stuff for Windows'9x/NT/2k from
+ (http://www.hitachi-eu.com/hel/ecg/) or from Hitach Databook 2001
+ CD-ROM (if no luck try to search on the net for gnu99r1p1.zip)
+
+ * GDB compiled for target sh-rtems - do-it-yourself or download
+ from ftp://ftp.oarcorp.com:21/pub/rtems/snapshots/c_tools/
+
+ * RTEMS (ofcourse) you probably already have if you are reading this
+ document
+
+ Instalation of 'gdbstubs'
+--------------------------
+ Once you downladed and unzipped gdbstubs you have to compile
+ it. First modify the Makefile to use the compiler installed on your
+ machine. Then issue the command:
+
+ $ make
+
+ This should produce the default target sh2-7045edk.out. This is the
+ S-record file which should be added to FDT project (renaming it to
+ *.mot extension helps a bit).
+ If you are lucky you will be able to put the file into the FLASH
+ following the instuctions in FDT and EVB manuals.
+
+ Well I wasn't lucky so I had to bypass the Universal Programming
+ Board (see EVB7045F User Manual) and manually put the processor into
+ BOOT mode. This can be done by shortening the capacitor C8 (or C108
+ on schematics) which puts the UPB into permanent reset state, and by
+ removing jumper JP4 (or JP104 on schematics) and connecting its
+ middle pin to the ground. After pressing CRES button the processor
+ is in BOOT mode. In FDT select "direct connection":
+
+ Menu Project->Properties->Device->Select Interface
+
+ After that there should be no problem in putting the program into the
+ FLASH.
+
+ Loading 'hello.exe' on board
+------------------------------
+ I assume you are able to compile RTEMS with 'gensh2' BSP and
+ necessary tools. If not please refer to 'started.pdf' document which
+ describes the procedure (http://www.oarcorp.com/).
+
+ At the time of writing this document 'gdbstubs' default
+ communication port was SCI1. So it was the default port for
+ /dev/console in RTEMS. To avoid problems I had check these settings
+ both in 'gdbstubs' and $RTEMS_ROOT/c/src/lib/libbsp/sh/gensh2/include/bsp.h
+
+ After changing the line
+
+ #define BSP_CONSOLE_DEVNAME "/dev/sci1"
+
+ to
+
+ #define BSP_CONSOLE_DEVNAME "/dev/sci0"
+
+ in 'bsp.h' and rebuilding RTEMS there should no problem in running
+ 'hello.exe' and other samples.
+
+ For downloading connect a serial cable to computer and EVB. You will
+ also need a second cable and second serial port to see the effects
+ of your work.
+
+ Assuming you are working in Linux and Xwindows fire up two terminal
+ windows. In the first one run sh-rtems-gdb, in the second run a
+ serial port terminal (for example 'minicom'). Set up the serial
+ terminal to a port connected to SCI0 and leave the window in a
+ visible place on the desktop. The debugger should be invoked best
+ from the directory where 'hello.exe' is placed. Assuming that here
+ is a GDB session:
+
+ --------start------
+ $ sh-rtems-gdb hello.exe
+ GNU gdb 5.0

+ (gdb) set remotebaud 115200
+ (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0
+ Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS0
+ 0x0 in ?? ()
+ (gdb) load
+ Loading section .text, size 0x12d70 lma 0x444000
+ Loading section .data, size 0xb80 lma 0x456df0
+ Loading section .stack, size 0x10 lma 0xfffffec0
+ Start address 0x444000 , load size 80128

+ (gdb) continue
+ Continuing.

+ 0x44ec36 in exit (code=0) at exit.c:70
+ 70 exit.c: No such file or directory.
+ (gdb)
+ --------end-------
+
+ And here is a capture from the serial terminal window:
+
+*** HELLO WORLD TEST ***
+Hello World
+*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***
+
+ Beautiful, isn't it? That's all!
+
+
+
+ Variations
+------------
+ I'm sure that not every one can afford having two operating systems
+ on one computer. I believe there will be a day that nobody will need
+ an MS stuff anymore... ;)
+
+ It is possible to repeat the success on MS Windows only. To do the
+ same on Linux only you a tool to downlad 'gdbstubs' on the
+ board. This should be no problem to find it on the net but right now
+ I don't know about it.
+
+ For your convenience there are several graphical interfaces for GDB
+ available on the net. I just name two of them:
+
+ DDD - stands for Data Display Debugger
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/)
+
+ Insight - a Tcl/Tk interface available both for MS Windows and
+ Xwindows (http://sources.redhat.com/insight/)
