This directory contains various support software for using RTEMS on
the TS-1325. Descriptions follow.
DOS Loader
==========
The dos_sup directory contains a DOS-based loader (loader.com) for
RTEMS executables on the TS-1325. Fully commented source code is
included.
Once an application has been compiled and the resulting COFF
executable converted to raw binary format and transferred to the
TS-1325, the DOS loader program must be used to load and execute
it. The loader is simply invoked as "loader filename", where the
filename cannot contain an explicit path.
The loader will work with files stored either on the C: ram disk or
the A: flash disk. Since Zmodem transfers to the C: ram disk are much
faster than to the A: disk, most development work will be done using
the C: disk. Once completed, an application may copied to the
(non-volatile) A: disk. Additionally, one may add the line "loader
filename" to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, allow ing the application to be
run automatically at boot time.
Note that the DOS loader will abort and exit if it detects that the
push-button switch is pressed, thus allowing one to break out of a
patho logical "boot loop" situation.
coff2bin
========
The coff2bin script is just a convenient wrapper for the objcopy
command. It can convert a list of RTEMS-generated COFF files to raw
binary images that can be loaded on the TS-1325. The converted files
are saved in the current directory with a ".bin" extension.
TS-1325 Ada95 Support
=====================
The TS-1325 includes a few peripherals which are very useful for
embedded development: a push-button switch, an LED, and a parallel
port which may be used for digital I/O. Note that the pinout for the
parallel port is given in the TS-1325 manual.
These devices are all supported by Ada packages allowing easy access;
they may be found in the ts_1325_ada directory. Doing a make command
here will build a program that tests and exercises all these support
packages. Plugging in some kind of parallel-port "loop-back" connector
would be useful during this test.
Brief descriptions of the main packages are as follows:
* ts1325-button: allows one to check or wait for a button press.
* ts1325-led: allows safe reading and setting of the LED colour.
* ts1325-parallel: used to read and write byte date to the parallel
port.
* i386_ports: code to access the I/O address space, using Ada
inline assembly.
