The kernel is now booting, and I'm able to run the applications in /rescue. The other binaries seem to be hit or miss (signal 11s), although the C compiler can build 'hello world', so I'm guessing that either the dynamic linker isn't set up right (/etc isn't populated by the installworld, so I continue to add files by hand) and its having a problem finding all the dynamic libraries it wants, or the 64MB memory limit is a problem, and I need to get swap going. In any event, its enough to get my hacking until Globalscale ships my board. -Brian On Thu, 2011-07-14 at 21:24 -0500, Mark Tinguely wrote: > On 7/14/2011 3:21 PM, Brian J.

GCC uses this name to determine what kind of instructions it can emit when generating assembly code. This option can be used in conjunction with or instead of the `-mcpu=' option.

Actually I am compiling the kernel for Cortex-A8 ( it has armv7-a archtecture) processor. From gcc info, i didn't find any mcpu option for cortex and march option armv7.

We have initial support for ARMv6/v7 architecture.

(I have Kuro Sheeva, Sheevaplug with eSATA connector.) Now we have following device drivers: simplebus, sata, twsi(I2C), gpio, ehci, mge(ether) But we don't some more drivers like localbus sdhci, nand flash, crypto engine, XOR engine and so on. Anyone work on it? First of all, what is localbus? === BTW, I also interested in PANDABOARD, so I tryed code from https://gitorious.org/+freebsd-omap-team/freebsd/freebsd-omap/ . With some change, I managed to build it (as ARMv6) and the kernel seems to try to start init. I use rescue sh as init process it stops with illegal instruction. As investigating it, I realized atomic operation need to be substantially rewritten. == From owner-freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jul 20 18:12:35 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-arm@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF0AE1065672 for ; Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:12:35 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from nitw.satish@gmail.com) Received: from sam.nabble.com (sam.nabble.com [216.139.236.26]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8C63B8FC1B for ; Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:12:35 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [192.168.236.26] (helo=sam.nabble.com) by sam.nabble.com with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1Qjb0L-00047p-SY for freebsd-arm@freebsd.org; Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:56:17 -0700 Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:56:17 -0700 (PDT) From: satish kondapalli To: freebsd-arm@freebsd.org Message-ID: <1311184577876-4616731.post@n5.nabble.com> In-Reply-To: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: ARMv6 / ARMv7 support X-BeenThere: freebsd-arm@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the StrongARM Processor List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:12:35 -0000 Hi Rafal, If you created a project in Free BSD SVN repo for armv6/armv7 support can you please send me the path.

Well, I had some spare time, and tried it again, this time with FreeBSD 8.2-stable. I followed the build instructions at cooltrainer.org[2], with a few changes: - I'm NOT patching /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c - I have a serial console, so I'm not patching /usr/src/etc/rc.d/fsck master.passwd and these seems to be updated already, so I haven't tried patching them: liblzma if_axe.c if_axereg.h I used the same usb memory stick as before, this one: ugen0.3: at usbus0 umass0: on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000 Root mount waiting for: usbus0 umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 After much trial and error, I have found out that this memory stick simply doesn't work.

The source is in a git repo setup by Damjan Marion here https://gitorious.org/+freebsd-omap-team/freebsd/freebsd-omap I've been helped by others on this list in terms of armv7 support. And I've added basic hacks to get the pmap and a few other bits and pieces working with ARMv7, but I believe others are adding proper support and I'm hoping to pull in their efforts when it's done. I'm also hoping to update the gitorious tree this weekend to bring in the OMAP3530 support I've been working on and also fix up some known bugs with the L2 cache controller and DMA.

There is still a large amount of work to do on the drivers, not to mention the H/W codec interface (IVAHD/syslink) and the opengl 3D acceleration. (Unfortunately) My recommendation would be to use Linux on the Pandaboard, the kernel and drivers seem stable and TI appears to be actively working on and releasing codecs plus the openGL drivers.
