RAM_HIGH_ADRS marks not only the max address from your VxWorks Text and Data sections, it also marks the address at which your bootrom image runs in RAM. If you do not burn a new bootrom image, the VxWorks image you are loading will be copied right over the currently executing bootrom image which is executing at the >OLD< RAM_HIGH_ADRS.

The targets are connectet via ethernet to the development hosts, running target serves with shell (we use WINNT with Tornado II). Results are displayed by a telnet connection on the hosts. We are using TCPIP, our data transfer is bidirectional, one side has to transmit approx. 1.4Mb per second, the other side transmitts only approx. 40kb per second. data structures are normally greater 1kb. Due to our application the tranfer of the data has to be near "realtime" (if we can use this word while using ethernet), means tranfer should be as fast as possible. We don't have much experience with configuring ethernet connection. The following problem occures (All TCPIP and ethernet buffer options are set to default) Data transfer is running, but after a short time (some minutes) the connection drops with the following error codes: Sending Task: write(...) returns errno 0x20, means S_errno_EPIPE Receiving Task: errno 0x3d, means S_errno_ECONNREFUSED (shown by the taskInformation command "i") ipstatShow displays a steady increasing number of "unknownprotocols" while data transmission is running. We tried to configure the connection using setsockopt with TCP_NODELAY enabled or not, setting the TCP_SND_SIZE_DFLT and TCP_RCV_SIZE_DFLT to higher values, with no remarcable effect. What are we doing wrong? Can anyone give us a hint how to configure the network, task prioritys and other parameters to get a fast and stable connection.

When I use read() to get the user's input from a serial port, the task which is calling read() enters PEND status, and read() never return. (I use system debug mode at this time through network.) 1.Why? 2.Is read() a block call or a non-bolck call? 3.How to resolve this problem? The detail is: The serial port: using MPC860 SMC1, sio driver, tty driver, interrupt mode default, not CONSOLE_TTY. I define the TTY_NUM = 1, so the serial port device is created automatically during initialization using ttyDevCreate().Then I use such code int serialfd; void DsSerialInit() { serialfd = open("/tyCo/0", O_RDWR, 0); (void) ioctl(serialfd, FIOSETOPTIONS, OPT_RAW); } to open the serial port, OK, the return value "serialfd" is a valid value. After that, task A is running on the target board to read() the serial port. Task A { char recvchar; int retval; ... retval = read(serialfd, &recvchar, 1); /* which never return, task A enters PEND at this point*/ ... } I had thought the read() will return 0 immediately even if there is no input, but now it never returns, why?

The process is that once the VxWorks image is built, the OMF header is stripped off and then the resulting binary file is compressed using the "deflate" command. Then the compressed image converted to a series of "define bytes" using binToAsm. This program adds the binArrayStart and binArrayEnd and then the make process "assembles" this code using the assembler-with-cpp option to gcc. This places an OMF header back on the compressed image for subsequent linking. Then, the romInit code is linked onto the compressed image (the compressed, binary VxWorks now looks like "data" to the linker). Now, you're ready to burn that ROM.

Hello,
 
I'm trying to mount an ATA cdrom on a = pentium pc=20 running vxworks.
The drive is the slave (drive 1) on = controller=20 0.
 
Tried the following from the = shell:
 
-> cdromFsInit()
-> cdDevBlk =3D ataDevCreate(0, = 1, 0,=20 0)
-> cdVolDesc =3D = cdromFsDevCreate("/cdrom",=20 cdDevBlk)
 
All the steps did succeed, and I can = see "/cdrom"=20 in the "devs" list.
 
But
    ls = "/cdrom"
fails. I get "Can't open = /cdrom".
 
The third argument to ataDevCreate is = "nBlocks",=20 which if 0 should use the entire disk. I think specifying 0 should = be=20 fine.
 
The fourth argument, "blkOffset", is = "This offset=20 is added to the block numbers passed by the file system during disk = accesses.".=20 I don't know if 0 is the correct value. In the cdromFsLib documentation, = there=20 is an example that uses a SCSI cdrom. In the scsiBlkDevCreate call, the=20 "blockOffset" argument is 0.

Has anyone out there successfully = mounted and read=20 an ATA cdrom? If so can you tell me what I'm doing wrong or=20 missing?

I get "Can't open /cdrom". > Is this from the WindSh or the tShell? If it's from the WindSh, then it's not your target but WindSh that's the problem. Because the WindSh runs as a TCL interpretor on your development host, it can't see local media on your target. If you're trying this from the tShell, then you may be missing the usrFsLib.c code. This is especially true if you've applied the dosFsLib2 patches to your installation. I hoven't been able to find where the usrFsLib.c stuff is included in the build. So, that looks like bug. It's supposed to be referenced from usrLib.c (according to the comment in that file (that's also where usrFsLib.c's code came from in the first place)). So, you might try to place an include in usrLib.c to bring the usrFsLib.c code in for compilation. Dones anyone know if there is an SPR related to this problem?

The problem seems to have gotten worse after repartitioning the target disk, although I don't know why that would affect anything. The PC is running NT 4.0 sp5 and what used to be FTP Software's InterDrive Client 5.0 (now Netmanage). The target is a MVME2604, Tornado 1, with a 9G disk. I originally had the disk configured (mistakenly) as 33M, 33M and 1G. Now it is 1G, 1G, 7G. My problem occurs mostly on the first partition, but that is also where most of the action is. So far, the problem seems to be in one direction only: PC -> vxworks. I have not seen the problem with copying files the other way. But again, mostly I _write_ files to the _first_ partition.

For some reason (best known to them) == has higher priority than & So the above is: if (header_field & (BITGROUP2_MASK == OPTIONB)) {...} not the required: if ((header_field & BITGROUP2_MASK) == OPTIONB)) {...} I can't think of any use for that construct - even with 3 variables. (did use if (a == (b == c)) once... - blew up the pascal compiler) Fortunately gcc (as configured for vxWorks) issues a warning on that construct indicating that () are required. Unfortunately it also bleats about anything involving & and | (or && and ||) where the priority is obvious (& (multiply) and beats | (divide)). Adding the 'suggested parenthesis' forces so many () in complex expressions that you can't see the wood for the trees...

I've made progress since my last posting. First, to answer your question, I was using the target shell. It turns out the ATA driver (ie ataDrv - you do get the sources for it) that ships with Tornado 2.0 does not support cd-rom's (it apparently does not support ATAPI drives). You have to get special versions of ataDrv.c and ataShow.c. The ones I got were dated Apr 27, 1999. For pcpentiumPro BSP, only the master drive on controller 0 is enabled. If you want more drives, you have to edit sysLib.c. My cd-rom drive was the master on controller 1. Even after enabling all 4 drives (2 on each controller), the cd-rom drive on controller 1 was not identified. When I made it the slave on controller 0, it worked.

However, we have SM networking running between multiple boards on CPCIbus, using a systemwide statically defined address. The simplest option we found was to use the traditional 0x00004100 address in the slot 1 board's memory, which, if you're using common hardware reference platform (CHRP) memory model for PPC CPU, maps to the same address in CPCIbus memory space. We also got it running using memory on a non-slot 1 board's memory, but it's a little more challenging to define the address in that case, especially if you're dealing with a BIOS on the slot-1 board that is dynamically assigning addresses. In that case, I would suggest that the slot 1 board be responsible for 'knowing' which board has been designated as the anchor memory, and putting it's address at some agreed-upon address in the slot 1 board's own memory (e.g. 0x00004100) for the other boards to get it from.

But I hope that this is obvious (?). Now what might NOT be obvious is something I fell foul of not too long ago... if the file descriptor being closed by an fclose() is INVALID ( i.e. it's value is corrupted ) then when fclose() does a memPartFree() you get a suspend if the memory block being free'd is also invalid .... but NOT ALWAYS !. I found that my code ran fine without the debugger ( because the invalid value in my file descriptor was 'valid' from the system perspective ). When I ran with the debugger it crashed, because the debugger wrote different values into the local workspace prior to calling fclose().. so instead of picking up a 'valid' invalid value for the file descriptor (such as zero ;-) ) it picked up a truly invalid value.... and suspends.

If you look at your devices list (-> devs), you should have some devices like /TyCo/0 and /TyCo/1. These devices are handles for the physical serial ports. To access one of these ports, open it: -> fd = open("/TyCo/1", 2, 0) ; opens in O_RDWR (read/write) mode Once you have the fd, use read and write to send and receive bytes: -> numBytesWritten = write(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer)) or -> numBytesRead = read(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer)) Once you have the fd, you can also use the ioctl commands to change port speeds or put the port into "raw" mode as you would if you were trying to run a protocol across the serial port. -> opt = 1 -> ioctl(fd, OPT_RAW, &opt) ; you'll have to pull the value of OPT_RAW ; from the headers, I forget what it is ; right off the top of my head :-) > 2. Whether BSP for MBX 860 is requiered to make the above serial > port acess > function to work? If the BSP is working, then these serial port accesses should also be working. > 3.I have the BSP for MBX860 How can I make use of it (as this is > having serial > port driver)in order to reduce my serial access application code > to a minimum? Use the above examples and your code needs know nothing of the details of the serial channel. > 4.If I need to make a VxWorks run time image having BSP and my > application what > way I can achieve this ? 1) You can build your app into the VxWorks image by placing your source into usrConfig.c (not a recommended approach). 2) You can link your compiled application into the VxWorks image using the MACH_EXTRA option of the Makefile and simply call it from the usrRoot code in usrConfig.c (much better approach) 3) Turn you application into a library and add it to the EXTRA_LIBS option of the Makefile. You'll still have to reference the entrypoint in usrRoot though. > 5.How can I test(see the output) my code (not even serial access > like simple > "printf" ) with out having target? This is difficult using T101. With T2, you get the simulator which would allow you to debug without a target. Also, Motorola isn't really selling the MBX860 any longer. So, if you're planning to buy one from Motorola, you may have a long wait. You might want to look at the RPX Classic from Embedded Planet (http://www.embeddedplanet.com) as an alternative. > 6.When I need to create my application in VxWorks do i need to > make any changes > in make file? > Well, it depends.

Hello, all, for several years we successfully used the bootp request both in the bootROM and while starting vxWorks 5.3.1 . The implementation of this request was bootpParamsGet function call. Now we have moved to vxWorks 5.4. The prototype of this function was seriously changed and there is no backward compatibility. I did my best with the exact definition of parameters - the result remained the same: after the call from vxWorks's BSP (or from an additional application module) the bootpParamsGet function returns ERROR on timeout. What is the principal thing, the bootROM remains the previous one, produced from vxWorks 5.3.1. And it does execute bootp request correctly! So, I download the vxWorks by using bootp (flags=0xc0 in the boot line) and get bootp request timeout after vxWorks v.5.4 started to work. What did I wrong? a) not exact network definitions in configAll.h; b) wrong parameters; c) there is a patch that should be downloaded. I am confused with this issue. Any useful advise will be appreciated with grate.

While I havn't out-of-the-box solution, there are some suggestions: Try to see what's going on the wire. Connect some network analyzer to the Ethernet port and observe the messages going to and from the target when issuing bootpParamsGet. If the target transmits ANYTHING ? If not - check the ifName parameter. If it's correct? If the mentioned interface up & running ? (use ifShow to check it) Check also the interface statistics displayed by ifShow. If the number of non-multicast Tx frames increments each time You issue the bootpParamsGet ? If the target transmits BOOTP requests, but gets no answers, check the server BOOTP table. Is the target Ehternet port MAC address is listed there ? Maybe, there is a number of BOOTP replies on each request ? If yes, chances are there is some another machine on the net that runs BOOTP server, those replies confuse the target. The IP and MAC source addresses in the reply will get You a clue. -----Original Message----- From: vxwexplo@lbl.gov [mailto:vxwexplo@lbl.gov] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 9:52 AM To: vxworks_users@csg.lbl.gov Subject: bootpParamsGet for vxWorks 5.4 does not work?

The OS sitting on the board is VxWorks. The hardware board has got the ISA slot in which my Digicom modem sits. I have written the code to dial to the ISP through the modem on the hardware board. I could successfully connect to the ISP , initiate the PPP connection and could download the html file from the site. Now I am facing problems with the connectivity of the modem to the RAS server. When I dial my normal ISP it gives me the following string "Username:" and waits for the user to enter the username. The same thing is done for the Password. And in this manner the authentication is done by the ISP server. But when i try to connect to the local RAS server i am not receiving any string. And that is why I am not able to get on to the Intranet of my workplace. I tried to connect to the RAS server through the Dial Up Networking software and that time it displayed a window prompting Username and Password. But when i try to connect through my code i am stuck up in the receive loop. i am stuck up at this stage. any suggestion regarding this would be appriciated..

They should all be current (as of 2 days ago). If we could get someone at Wind River Systems to update their web page it would sure help. I've sent some email to them but perhaps it didn't get to a live person, I've received no response. Their page still indicates to send email to the request address. That makes extra work for us and it doesn't go very fast, as this mail is queued and handled on a weekly to monthly basis. Perhaps someone at Wind River could contact me about this. Subscription Management Web Interface All list management should be done through the web interface now. It appears to be working well, with occasionally some slight confusion. There are four fields in the database. One is the email address. The other three are booleans for subscription to 1) the immediate list, 2) the daily digest, and 3) account disable. The way it works is: 1) if immediate is true, articles will go out as they come in to this address. 2) if digest is true, a daily digest of articles will be emailed once per day. 1) and 2) can both occur, if you want both immediate articles and a daily digest copy 3) if account disable is true, no email will go to the address. this is dominant and wins over 1) and 2) Bad Addresses Disabled The purpose of the account disable is primarily for bad address bounce disablement. If an account bounces email for more than 15 days it is put on a bad address list. When I push the button, the addresses on this list are disabled. This occurs weekly to monthly, so an address must bounce email for quite a while before we disable it. We get about two to five new members per week on this list. Changing Subscribed Addresses when Moving The way to change addresses is to disable the old address and register the new one. For security and software simplicity reasons we don't currently allow a direct 'change' function. You can disable an address in one of two ways. Either set both immediate and digest to false, or set disable account. No email will be sent to that address. It will remain in the database. At some point we will purge inactive addresses, though this is a near-zero priority. Newsgroup Digest Problem The comp.os.vxworks newsgroup daily digest is not working, and has not for some time. The error it is generating is one that usually goes away in a few days, clearly this is not the case here. I suspect a change was made in our local newsfeed server that has broken our news gathering program. It will have to be debugged or replaced. This effort has not been scheduled. Note that the exploder list daily digest IS working. The digest that isn't working gathers articles from the usenet newsgroup comp.os.vxworks and emails them to the list members (both daily and digest users get this mailing) (when it works..). New Machine Upgrade We are currently in the process of building a new machine for the list. We plan to improve the software at the same time, so this will take awhile before it is online. Suggestions for this new system may be sent to me directly. We are planning a FreeBSD based system, with mirrored Raid drives for reliability and uninterruptible power (California you know). I'm considering what software to use. At this point I'm not so interested in using Majordomo as I once was, but I am increasingly interested in connecting the core code we already have for filtering, etc. to a Phorum PHP/MySQL based engine. That would provide a web interface to the articles in addition to the email lists. Phorum also allows the capability to sign up for email on a specific thread without getting the whole list. I am also considering putting all the back articles into MySQL and providing search pages. Another feature we could consider is to filter the newsgroup to block off-topic postings, the way we do the mailing list. At any rate, this is a back-burner project, so it will proceed at a fairly slow pace. -- Alan K Biocca From vxwexplo-errs@csg.lbl.gov Sun Apr 29 05:34:08 2001 From: Rainer Stelzer Date: Sun Apr 29 05:34:10 PDT 2001 Subject: BSP design -- Cache / SDRAM-Burst problem on MPC823e CPU Hi vxworkers, I 've a question dedicated to the BSP designers out there. problem: In opposit to a early version of our CPU (populated with a MPC821) the new version of the board with the MPC823e is unable to run when burst mode in SDRAM Bank is enabled. We have to turn off the burstmode, otherwhise the system crashes. ( An other way to prevent the system from crashing, is to turn off cache support (#undef INCLUDE_CACHE_SUPPORT) with SDRAM burst turned on, but the reason will be that no one uses the burst capability anymore ) So I checked the burst timing of the UPMA with the MCUInit Tool, compared it with other BSP solutions, do a lot of measurements with the logic analyser. The result was, that the timing of the MPC823e looks exactly the same like the MPC821 one. System details: hardware: custom PC104 CPU board populated with a MPC823e (Mask Code 0x2401, mask Set 1J13D) running with 50MHz from a fixed oscillator. PLL unused, as recomended. 16MByte SDRAM realized with two 64MBit Chips (in this case the very common K4S641634D-TI80 from Samsung) software: realtime OS vxworks with a self designed BoardSupportPackage derived from MBX860 with suggestions from different other BSP's from Windriver, Linux bootloaders and the Motorola documentation especialy the SDRAM suggestions . questions: - does somebody out there run vxworks on a MPC823e with SDRAM in burst mode ? - I expect the memory controller of the MPC823e to be the same as the MPC821 one's (e.g. when using Motorolas MCUInit tool), cause I can't find a hint that it changed. Is this assumption valid ? - refering the MPC823e errata sheet from 30.March 2000: - Is this the latest errata sheet ? - is it valid for the mask Set 1J13D too ? - There are some hints around the instruction cache (and one regarding the data cache) I discussed each point listed in there and I came to result that no one match's my problem. ( I do not believe that it is a cache problem, cause cache works with SDRAM burst turned off ) or can somebody see a dependancy between chache problems listed in this document and the SDRAM burst problem ? - Any other hint ?????

Go to the Tornado tool and configure your target server. In the drop down, select Target Server File System and enable read/write access using the check box. Also, set a root filesystem. Then you should be able to create and write files. If you already have done this, then make sure that the file you're trying to open already exists and that you've positioned the file system to the proper directory using "cd" from the WindSh. If you're trying to make a new file, then either use the create call (instead of open) or "or" in the O_CREAT flag into the flags for the open call. > 2> Network communication > I am successfull open multiple Simulator on my PC and able to > communicate between differen simulator and my host pc. > Now I want to communicate between two simulator on different PC.

You'll still have to reference the entrypoint in usrRoot though. Once you've decided which of these techniques that you're planning to use, you can then build a standalone VxWorks image from either the T2 build spec (assuming you created the project as a bootable) or from the command line as "make vxworks.st".

That's where the output will appear. The "/tyCo/0" that you see in the simulator is a dummy that routes to that console window. The simulator can't give you access to the "real" physical serial port on the PC without writing a helper app on the PC to take the I/O and route it to the serial port. However, when you run on a real target, the approach that you outline above will work as advertised.

Or 7.after creating a .O file (for the filesystem creation) and Include that in add modules option of cofigure BSP dialog box to build a vxworks image(vxWorks.st) and then booting the board with this immage is sufficient to establish a file system at target 8. Pls. tell me what are all the options to be included while configuring BSP in order to establish target file systyem 9.In short my requirement is to down load an application to the target recident shell not a Tornado shell. Thank you for your time i9n advance Sunny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have a problem regarding logMsg utility. Actually when I use logMsg for board i.e CPU R4000 It doesn't work fine but It(logMsg) works fine when I use Simulator for NT i.e SIMNT. eg If I want to print messages from this code for(i=0;i<=1000;i++) logMsg("Value of i is %d\n",i,0,0,0,0,0); Some of the output is missing inbetween...like upto 450..it is ok.. then 451-480.. are missing.. and then output upto 600 is Ok...and then output is missing...randomly..

From vxwexplo-errs@csg.lbl.gov Mon Apr 30 00:37:39 2001 From: "Mamta Choudhary" Date: Mon Apr 30 00:37:41 PDT 2001 Hi, We are using Tornado 2.0 evaluation version. In this we are facing some problems in use of files: When we try to open a pre-existing file or create a file with O_CREAT and O_RDWR option it returns a valid file descriptor value. But when we try to read or write from/to this file it gives error which are like S_iosLib_INVALID_FILE_DESCRIPTOR, or S_iosLib_DUPLICATE_DEVICE_NAME. Sometimes it successfully creates/opens a file and allows us to perform read/write to the corresponding file. The whole behaviour of files in VxSim seems very unpredictable to us. Could u please enlighten us about file handling in VxSim. Thankx in advance, Mamta Choudhary Impetus Infotech (India) Ltd.

Either reduce the rate at which you produce logMsgs or increase the size of the tLogTask pipe (NUM_LOG_MSGS from configAll.h).

Any of the freeware/shareware FTP servers will do. If you've loaded your bootrom into Flash, then simply specify the boot parameters and add a password in the Password: field and viola! You will have a new device listed called : For example, a boot host name of boothost -> cd "boothost:/subdirectory" -> ls Alternatively, you can use netDevCreate: -> hostAdd("boothost", "") -> netDevCreate("boothost:", "boothost:", 1) ; 0 = RSH, 1 = FTP -> iam(userID, ftppassword) -> cd "boothost:/subdir" -> ls > 3.

However, if you wanted to do this you would have to include the ram disk and dosFS code. Then: -> pBlkDev = ramDevCreate(0, 512, 1024, 1024, 0) ; creates a 512K RAM ; Disk malloced from system RAM -> dosFsMkfs("/ram0", pBlkDev) Then you'd have to have #2 working to copy over the file. > 6.Whether the file system creation commands could be > executed from shell prompt.

This can be done as well. Place the functions in usrConfig.c in the usrAppInit() function or at the end of usrRoot(). > 8.
