[Xenomai-help] Problem building and running demos

Hi Xeno users !

just trying to play with Xenomai's demos but I'm having some problems
compiling and running some of them.

Satch for the native skin
==============

I have some troubles here compiling satch.

bruno@domain.hid$ make
cc -o satch satch.c -I/usr/xenomai/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT
-D__XENO__ -L/usr/xenomai/lib -lpthread -lnative
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function
`_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:115: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Satch for the posix skin
==============

Building process works fine but running satch fails :
My .runinfo file looks like:
satch:posix:!./satch_rt;popall:control_c

bruno@domain.hid$ xeno-load ./:satch
*
*
* Type ^C to stop this application.
*
*
Satch: producer module not running, please launch producer module before
launching consumer application.
__xeno_user_init: 2

I understand from xenomai/ksrc/skins/posix/demos/Kbuild and going quickly
through satch.c code that there should be a first module to insmod before
using the consumer module but how/when is the producer module supposed to be
built? I don't find any other module in my xenomai built tree or in my
/lib/modules/*-ipipe kernel.

The accuracy demo works fine though.

About Xenomai test-suite
===============

When I run the latency test I get something like:

sudo ./latency
== Sampling period: 100 us
== Test mode: periodic user-mode task
== All results in microseconds
warming up...
RTT|  00:00:01  (periodic user-mode task, 100 us period, priority 99)
RTH|-----lat min|-----lat avg|-----lat max|-overrun|----lat best|---lat
worst
RTD|      -4.484|      -4.182|      -1.449|       0|      -4.484|      -
1.449
RTD|      -4.421|      -4.056|      -1.278|       0|      -4.484|      -
1.278
RTD|      -4.451|      -4.056|      -1.062|       0|      -4.484|      -
1.062
---|------------|------------|------------|--------|-------------------------

Sorry about the dummy question here but what is the meaning of: RTT, RTH and
RTD?

By the way, when I run the whole test suite, xeno-test, my box hangs when I
hit the control-C key in the latency test. I then figured out that the
command used for the workload (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null) make my linux
hangs outside the test anyway! Any reason for that?


FYI: my config (via xeno-config)
==================

bruno@domain.hid$ xeno-config
xeno-config --verbose
    --version="2.3.50"
    --cc="gcc"
    --arch="i386"
    --prefix="/usr/xenomai"
    --xeno-cflags="-I/usr/xenomai/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT

    --xeno-ldflags="-L/usr/xenomai/lib -lpthread "
    --posix-cflags="-I/usr/xenomai/include -I/usr/xenomai/include/posix
-D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D__XENO__"
    --posix-ldflags="-L/usr/xenomai/lib -lpthread_rt -lpthread -lrt "
    --library-dir="/usr/xenomai/lib"
Usage xeno-config OPTIONS
Options :
        --help
        --v,--verbose
        --version
        --cc
        --arch
        --prefix
        --xeno-cflags
        --xeno-ldflags
        --posix-cflags
        --posix-ldflags
        --lib*-dir,--libdir,--user-libdir


Any help, answer or advice in one the above mentioned points will be very
appreciated ;)

Thanks in advance.

You are supposed to run:
make -C /path/to/your/kernel/sources M=$PWD modules
because you know how to compile kernel modules outside of the kernel
tree. You then have a ksatch.ko kernel module. It does not even work
with 2.4 kernels.

This was more intended as a test for posix shared memory and
message queues support, than as a real demo for users. I just did not
find anywhere else to put it.

What we could do is to compile the default version with -DPRODUCER
-DCONSUMER so that it would be standalone.

Well, shame  on me then because I'm not too familiar with kernel module
build process ;)

I get some warnings though which prevent me from insmoding ksatch.koafterwards:

bruno@domain.hid$ make -C /usr/src/linux-
2.6.20.14-ipipe M=$PWD modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.14-ipipe'

make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.14-ipipe'

Something missing in the Kbuild file? How to reference symbols of the posix
lib?

And then of course, insmoding ksatch.ko fails...

sudo modprobe xeno_posix

sudo insmod ./ksatch.ko

tail -f /var/log/message

An interesting use case in fact.

What we could do is to compile the default version with -DPRODUCER
> -DCONSUMER so that it would be standalone.


Well from my point of view  a short README on how to build the application
would be just fine.
I'll document that in my short "getting started guide" anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Why not move the demos over into the examples repository and integrate
them into the existing build system? Would be a good chance to start
populating the posix folder over there.

Yes, I will probably do that.

You have to select posix shared memory (CONFIG_XENO_OPT_POSIX_SHM) when
configuring the kernel.
