The header files that include the -configuration of the system are based on Hyperstone's E132-XS -development board. The can be very easily modified to support -anyother configuration environment. - -Software Perquisites: ---------------------- -The build environment requires a C compiler for the E1-32XS -processor. Normally you can simply install a cross-compiling tool -chain based on the GNU tools (that is binutils and gcc). If you -are running a Linux system on a x86 CPU then you can just download -the toolchain as a binary from Hyperstone's official web-site. The -binary distribution will untar the tools in the /usr/local/e1-coff -directory. On any other system you will need to build the tool -chain from the sources. - -To compile successfully the following tools should be available: - - GNU toolchain: - - GCC ver 2.95.2 20030110 (release) e1-coff-gcc -v - - LD ver 2.12.90 20020726 e1-coff-ld -V - -Hardware Perquisites: ---------------------- -The etherboot has been successfully tested in the E1-32XS -development board. A second serial device is initialized -to act as a console. The standard messages -are redirected to the console. Nevertheless, if one wants not -to use the serial console he may omit the corresponding switches -from the Config file located under "src/arch/e1/" directory. - -On the E1-32XS board that was used, a daughter-board was employed -to connect a second HyIce to the development board. Since the HyIce -embeds a standard 16550 device, the Etherboot's standard device -driver is used. - -The position of the jumpers of the development board in order to -initialize both the second HyIce and the Ethernet device is -depicted in the following table: - -Jumper: Position -------:-------------- -J3 1-2 (default) -J4 1-2 (default) -J13 5-6 -J5 1-2 (default) -J6 1-2 & 3-4 -J7 3-4 -J9 1-2 (default) -J10 1-2 -J11 3-4 - -Compilation ---------------------- -In order to compile Etherboot for Hyperstone, the following steps should be followed: -1) Edit the main Makefile (located under "src" directory") and comment-out -the ARCH variable (by putting a "#" in front of it). Append the following line: -ARCH:=e1 -2) Edit the Config file (the one located under "src" directory) and make sure that -the CFLAGS variable will contain *only* the following swithces: -CFLAGS+= -DCONFIG_ISA -CFLAGS+= -DBOOT_FIRST=BOOT_NIC -CFLAGS+= -DALLOW_ONLY_ENCAPSULATED -CFLAGS+= -DBACKOFF_LIMIT=7 -DCONGESTED -CFLAGS+= -DCOFF_IMAGE -CFLAGS+= -DDOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP -Please note that extra or any other switches may cause failure of compilation! -3) type "make hyperstone" or "make coff" -4) the generated file will be located under the "src/bin" directory and will be called : - "etherboot.coff". Now you may download it with usual way using e1-coff-gdb .. - -Have Fun - -Yannis Mitsos, George Thanos -{gmitsos,gthanos}@telecom.ntua.gr - |
