Kate Feng <feng1@bnl.gov>, Aug. 28, 2007 - -The bootloader is adapted from Till Straumann's Generic Mini-loader, -which he wrote originally for the SVGM powerpc board. -The BSP is built and tested on the 4.7 CVS RTEMS release. - -Booting requirement : -------------------------- - -1) One needs to setup BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers and /etc/bootptab(BOOTP) - or /etc/dhcpd.conf (DHCP) properly to boot the system. - (Note : EPICS needs a NTP server). - -2) Please copy the prebuilt RTEMS binary (e.g. misc/rtems5500-cexp.bin) - and perhaps others (e.g. misc/st.sys) to the /tftpboot/epics/hostname/bin/ - directory or the TFTPBOOT one you specified in the 'tftpGet' - command of the boot script (as shown in the following example). - -3) Example of the boot script setup carried out on the MOTLoad - command line : - -MVME5500> gevEdit mot-script-boot -(Blank line terminates input.) -waitProbe -tftpGet -a4000000 -cxx.xx.xx.xx -sxx.xx.xx.xx -m255.255.254.0 -d/dev/enet0 -fepics/hostname/bin/rtems5500-cexp.bin -netShut -go -a4000000 - - -Update Global Environment Area of NVRAM (Y/N) ?

Otherwise, network - interface interrupt handlers installed by MOTLoad may cause memory - corruption - -4) Other reference web sites for mvme5500 BSP: -http://lansce.lanl.gov/EPICS/presentations/KateFeng%20RTEMS-mvme55001.ppt -http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/facility/expsys/software/EPICS/ -http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/facility/expsys/software/EPICS/FAQ.txt - -5) When generating code (especially C++) for this system, one should - use at least gcc-3.2 (preferrably a copy downloaded from the RTEMS - site [snapshot area] ) - -6) To reboot the RTEMS-MVME5500 (board reset), one can invoke the - bsp_reset() command at Cexp> prompt. - -7) Please reference http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~strauman/rtems -for the source code and installation guidance of cexp, GeSys and -other useful utilities such as telnet, nfs, and so on. - -8) To get started with RTEMS/EPICS and to build development -tools and BSP, I would recommend one to reference -http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/RTEMS/tutorial/ -in additional to the RTEMS document. |
