gdb endian-ness problem
by Sundar Ramachandran 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Hello people, I'd recompiled gdb with the arm toolchain and modified its makefile with the -mbig-endian option ('cos the gdb binary provided at netwinder.org does not work on Debian!). When I run gdb remotely with an armv4b-compiled-and-linked program executable, the target is recognized as armv4b-unknown-linux but I get a warning that the big-endian file did not match the little-endian target. What am I missing here? Do I need to include options for the linker (-EB option) anywhere in the makefile to convince gdb that the specified target is big-endian? Can I just ignore this warning and carry on? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your time. - Sundar.

Hi, When you installed RH 7.2 on host, did you choose "Server Installation"? -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Rayashish(a)aol.com [mailto:Rayashish@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 11:35 AM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: Re: [ixp1200] (no subject) Hi Ranjeeta, Everything is setup as you 've explained. Cygmon is running on IXP-box. Now it supposed to boot the linux os from the host computer through tftp. tftp running on host computer gets the request to transfer file 'zImage', sends first block and then waits for ack, but it does not get the ack from ixp-box. could you figure out what may be the problem. regards, Ashish

It seems you have to use Tornado 2.0 to build it.

Hi, Here are the steps: 1. Install tftp-0.17-14 and tftp-server-0.17-14 packages from Red Hat 7.2 CD 2 2. Create tftpboot directory under /tftpboot and copy zImage and ramdisk_img.gz under /tftpboot/tftpboot. OR You can change tftp file as outlined in step 5 to take server_args as -s /. In this case, you need not make subdirectory under /tftpboot. 3. chmod 777 /tftpboot/tftpboot/* Or Chmod 777 /tftpboot/* 4. Under /etc/xinetd.d, there is a file called "tftp". Update it to look like this: service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root port = 69 server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot disable = no } Or if you choose to use /tftpboot directory for getting zImage and ramdisk image, update tftp file as shown below: service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root port = 69 server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s / disable = no } 5. ps aux | grep xinetd Once you get the pid, kill it kill -9 pid Run xinetd again For getting NFS server to work ================================== Check if nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 package is installed rpm -qa | grep nfs* Install the package nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 if it is not installed. Edit the file /etc/exports IP-address-of-host:/nfsdir *(rw) Then type "exportfs -a" Hope it helps.... -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Sundararaman Shiva [mailto:shiva_ixp1200@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:27 PM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: RE: [ixp1200] (no subject) Hi Ranjeeta, Could you briefly outline the steps for running tftp and nfs for RH7.2 We have been trying it for quite some time.

Hi, You can use RH 7.2 for IXA SDK but setting up of TFTP server and NFS server requires a little different steps than what is documented in the installation guide. -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Rayashish(a)aol.com [mailto:Rayashish@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 1:04 PM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: Re: [ixp1200] (no subject) In a message dated 3/2/02 11:57:20 AM Pacific Standard Time, abhijeet(a)cs.utah.edu writes: I am trying to setup the development environment for IXP 1200 EE board. I 've gone through the document, which says: There are two software development environments designed specifically for IXA application developers. 1. The IXA SDK to develop IXA applications and to write code modules targeted for the IXDP1200 Advanced Development Platform. The IXA SDK runs on Red Hat Linux * 6.2 or Cygwin * (under Windows NT * ) and is available on the IXA SDK distribution CD 1. 2. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment to write microcode modules (including those for microACEs) targeted for microengines on the IXP1200. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment runsWindows NT-4 I want to know if i can use RHL 7.2 for IXA SDK and Windows 2000 Pro for IXP1200 Microengine Development Environmen. Is it necessary to stick with RHL 6.2 and WinNT-4? Regards, Ashish

Hi all, Apologies if the question is inappropriate for this list. We have been trying to find a distributor willing to sell us a single evaluation board to us, through the list available on the Intel Web site, but without any success so far. Intel customer service could only point to that list, so that didn't help either. Does any of the university users on this list have any hints to give us on this ? thanks, --kostas
