Making this procedure work under MS-DOS -is not that difficult but requires that MS-DOS versions of a number -of UNIX utilities be acquired and installed. For time being, the -best advice which can be offered is: - - "This is a nasty question, since when I first set up the DOS machine - (long before I acquired RTEMS) I ftp'd a bunch of different tool - sets (all from SimTel), and then picked individual tools from each - set that worked best for me. The djgpp tools are probably a good - starting point, especially to get a working sed. Next the gnu tools - in SimTel/msdos/gnuish, and then others. Sorry I can't give you more - specific names. The only real requirement for the tools is that - they *must* accept redirection of command line arguments from a file - using the '@' notation (i.e., "mkdir @/tmp/args" reads the argument - list from file /tmp/args)." - -There is a special version (source and executable) of GNU make 3.71 for -MS-DOS which minimizes the amount of memory used by recursive makes -available on lancelot.gcs.redstone.army.mil in the file: - -/pub/msdos/gmake371.tgz - -Many of the RTEMS specific utilities used in the build and installation -are UNIX shell scripts. On a UNIX host, these are normally interpreted -by the Bourne Again Shell (BASH) or the Korn Shell (ksh). Most of these -scripts can be successfully executed with the following shell from the -MS-DOS archives from Simtel. - -SimTel/msdos/sysutil/ms_sh23b.zip - -Please be sure to use the 16-bit version. The Simtel archives are -available from ftp.cdrom.com as well as a number of mirror sites. - -go32 ----- -go32 dumps the stack when a program seg-faults, and if this happens while -on an alternate stack an infinite loop can ensue. Setting the environment -variable GO32="core /tmp/core" will prevent more than 20 lines or -so of stack information from being dumped after a crash, and the output -will go to a file rather than the screen. - -The go32 debuggers get confused by the relocated stacks used by tasks, -and tend to crash when variables are inspected. - -djgcc include files -------------------- -In general, we use RTEMS include files because these contain the proper -declarations for the libc, and in particular, the stdio functions. -When calling go32-specific functions it is necessary to include some -djgpp include files, as well. Unfortunately, there are some disagreements -between RTEMS and djgpp as to how certain functions and types are -declared. In these cases, the RTEMS source have been modified to -special-case the differences. - -other ------ -* Pressing F12 will immediately abort the program. -See lib/libbsp/i386/go32/console/inch.c. - -* lib/libbsp/i386/go32/timer uses the on-board timer chip by default, -which has a resolution of about 1 microsecond. However, if executing -on a Pentium processor you can use the on-chip 64-bit cycle counter, -which counts at whatever clock rate your processor runs at. To enable -this, set RTEMS_CPU_MODEL=pentium in make/custom/go32.cfg. - |
