Hello!
My target hardware is a MPC5200 on a TQ STK52xx.
I am developing in a Linked Setup with ELDK 3.1.1 under a Debian Linux
(Release 2.6.18-4-686 ; gcc 4.1.2).
The whole ELDK was already used in a former project with identical
hardware and some early tests I ran showed that it works fine (as far as
I can see).
My goal is to get a real time Linux OS running on the target (preferably
Xenomai) and establish a RT ethernet connection with a identical
hardware setup (planning to use RTnet). But I am somehow stuck in the
first place for I can't get the kernel built:
I tried quite a number of Kernel-Xenomai-Adeos-Version-combinations in
the past four days without any actual success.
Yesterday I downloaded the Linuxppc_2_4_develop-sources from the GIT
repository of the DENX site and set them to the exact point where the
Adeos-Patch coming along with Xenomai 2.4.2 is build for (commit # ).
The patch worked fine (ran trough), I configured the kernel and built
the dependencies, but I am still unable to crosscompile the kernel and
am also slowly running out of ideas.
I am relatively new to this part of the software world, so forgive me
for my maybe basic questions:
I found no explicit information on the web, whether Xenomai can be run
on my specific target at all:
Has anyone tried or knows something about that?
Or where could I check whether it is (besides asking TQ of course)?
Maybe the better way would be trying with RTAI?
Are there any known oddities of the STK52xx and/or MPC5200?
Do I have to adapt my ELDK in any further way to get things going and
using the DENX-sources (okay I guess this is hard to say without
detailed information about my ELDK setup...)?
Any other helpful experience, hints or tricks?
Thanks & Greetings,
Thomas
