Hi,

Thanks Ralf.

I want this question to be answered.

Can I build linux on my Win98 machine for MIPS 4Kc Atlas board using 
mipsisa32-elf-gcc & make?

Please respondwith atmost details.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

>MIPS_RedHat7.1_Release-02.00.tar from
>ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/installation/redhat7.1/02.00
>

Thats not the right one. The right file for NFS root for mips is the one 
(nfsroot.mips.redhat7.1.eb-01.00.tar.gz) at 
ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/rootfs_nfs/redhat7.1

I extracted it to my /export/... folder & Linux booted well on the Atlas 
board.

Question:
1. I could see some interactive configuration menus with buttons <'OK' , 
'Cancel' surrounded with a couple of dots>. As I press the tab key to 
navigate to a button, nothing gets highlighted or there isnt a means to know 
a particlar button got selected. Is there a special config in minicom to 
view these better? I even tried the First char of the string to enble it 
<like 'O' for "OK" button & 'C' for Cancel button & 'N' for Next button>, 
but did not work. Please let me know a better way for this.

2. I got this message at last & nothing seems to happen after which <But I 
see a lot of ethernet activity between the Atlas & the host>.

clipping of the messages from linux as seen on minicom:

3. Did I miss some key configs during the 1st time setup menus? If so, How 
to revisite the linux config menus?

Please advice me. Also point me to relevant documentation. Mean while let me 
search for one...

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

>"init" is another thing. Your NFS root should include a /sbin/init or
>or /etc/init or /bin/init or /bin/sh. If none of those exists, you
>loose.


For setting up the NFS, I did the following:
1. exported the /export/RedHat7.1
2. downloaded MIPS_RedHat7.1_Release-02.00.tar from 
ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/installation/redhat7.1/02.00

this tar file has the following:

linux\installation\RedHat7.1\RPMS\mips\ <contains a lot of rpms>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\RPMS\mipsel\ <contains a lot of rpms>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\RPMS\noarch\ <contains a lot of rpms>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\install\ <contains a Makefile, install.list, 
install.script>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\install\root\etc\ <contains inittab, securetty>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\install\root\etc\sysconfig\ <contains network>
linux\installation\RedHat7.1\install\root\etc\xinetd.d\ <contains telnet, 
rlogin, rsh,rexec, hosts>

& some more files.

Now tell me what should be extracted to my NFS export /export/RedHat7.1 
(along with their relative path info.).

Also let me know what path to be passed on to the kernel as parameter to 
nfsroot=
Is it simply /export/Redhat7.1?

Another question: I don't see a init file in the tar. or is inittab similar? 
Is this "MIPS_RedHat7.1_Release-02.00.tar" tar file the right file & the 
only file that is needed for now; that has the right stuff in it? Or do I 
need to get the right file from a different tar file?


Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

The linux kernel on the Atlas board went past the NFS issue.

Now a new one :(


Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.


in src/linux/init/main.c

open("/dev/console", O_RDWR, 0) is returning a negative value. I don't have 
a video device on board., required? Will /dev/console open a UART port 
(/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/tty0)? Why am I getting this error?

1. Is the kernel not build properly (did not include console driver)?
2. Should I pass init=blablabla as a parameter? <but nothing like that is 
specified in the doc.>.

Advice me please...

Thanks,

-Mike.

Why is Linux (running on the MIPS board) trying '/tftpboot/4.42.102.6'. 
Should it not try '/export/RedHat7.1'

Please let me know what is missing or what I should do to get passed this

Hi JBG,

The MIPS box (Atlas running YAMON) has a fixed IP address assigned by me. 
TFTP boot works fine. But this IP is held within the boot monitor program 
(YAMON).

YAMON> set

baseboardserial (RO)   0000000197
bootfile        (R/W)  vmlinux.rec
bootprot        (R/W)  tftp
bootserport     (R/W)  tty0
bootserver      (R/W)  4.42.102.7
cpuconfig       (R/W)
ethaddr         (RO)   00.d0.a0.00.00.ed
fpu             (R/W)
gateway         (R/W)  12.235.80.1

subnetmask      (R/W)  255.255.252.0
yamonrev        (RO)   02.04

Apart from the dynamic IP address assignment methods....
Suggest me a method to communicate this value to the RAM resident Linux 
kernel. Or can I assign a fixed IP addredd by passing it as a parameter when 
the linux kernel boots up? If so what is the syntax & please point me to the 
document that has this info. about passed parameter when booting the kernel.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi all,

Finally I got the Atlas 4Kc board running YAMON to talk to Host PC running 
RedHat Linux 9 & download vmlinux.rec throught tftp. I have set-up NFS 
export in the same PC under /export/RedHat7.1

After the vmlinux.rec got downloaded, I issued the following command on the 
YAMON (MIPS tartget) prompt to start the downloaded linux kernel:

go . nsfroot=4.42.102.7:/export/RedHat7.1

while the Linux kernel was booting up, I  monitored the tcp/ip traffic on 
the host PC using 'tcpdump -n'. The Linux did not send any packets. why?

Hi,

Thanks a lot Muthu & all others who helped me.

I used the defconfig-atlas to configure my linux build & it works great on 
my board! <Probably I did not read the docs well, sorry> Thanks again, but I 
still have one more hurdle to jump over to kick start this excercise with 
linux.

Messages on my console (I used 'go' on YAMON prompt to start linux):
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 02:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Please advise me the simplest form of starting linux from YAMON prompt after 
downloading the image(srec) on to RAM.
Also please point me to a doc. that talks about the possible parameters when 
starting Linux.

Thanks everyone & Cheers,
-Mike.

Hi,

Finally, I could compile vmlinux. I thought of booting this RAM image (or 
its SREC equivalent) using the onboard YAMON (in BIG endian mode - I am 
having trouble building Redboot in BIG endian mode <issue ported at ecos 
forum>, so for now thought of using YAMON). After downloding the 
vmlinux.srec over the serial port (Starting at 0x80100000), I issued the go 
command to run the image. I get the following message:

YAMON> go

The linux image started fine, but caused an exception after a while. Is this 
because Linux is not compatible with YAMON? If so, what are the possible 
monitor programs that can go with Linux? Please point me to the documents in 
this regard (documents on running Linux executable on Atlas 4Kc board).

Or will Linux work with any ROM monitor? If so, please let me know the 
reason for the exception.

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

Hi,

I got passed the config issue, Thanks to all & Greg.

Now when I try making "make ARCH=mips", I get a lot of errors:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/include/linux/mm.h:188: parse error before 
`pte_addr_t'
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/include/linux/mm.h:188: warning: no semicolon at end

I get more error like the ones above.

Please let me know the reason for the same.

Thanks,

More info...

After
$ make ARCH=mips menuconfig

I did,
$ make ARCH=mips dep

all the commands where operating on the arch/mips foler files. But at the 
end it wrote arch/i386 references in the tmp_include_depends file.

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/arch/mips/lib'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6'
make update-modverfile
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6'
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/include/linux/modversions.h was not updated

(find /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6 \( -name .depend -o -name .hdepend \) -print | 
xargs awk -f scripts/include_deps) > tmp_include_depends


clipping from the tmp_include_depends file:
------------------------------------------

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/arch/i386/math-emu/exception.h: \
   /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_emu.h
	@touch /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/arch/i386/math-emu/exception.h

	@touch /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6/arch/i386/math-emu/fpu_asm.h


I even tried issuing these commands after $ make clean, still the same old 
problem. I guess I am close to get the Linux binaries for my Atlas board. 
Please help me with this.

Also do let me know if this binary is for RAM? Can I run this on top of 
Redboot without any issues?

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

Now I got passed the config issue.

I used the following command:

$ make ARCH=mips menuconfig

& changed the Machine option to Atlas 4Kc & saved it
Then
$ make dep
Then when I tried make, I got the following error:

[root@localhost linux-2.4.20-6]# make
scripts/split-include include/linux/autoconf.h include/config
make -r -f tmp_include_depends all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6'
make: *** [tmp_include_depends] Error 2


I guess it's something to do with the FPU option ( not sure).. Please help 
me with this. I wonder why its still refering to files from arch/i386. The 
autoconfig.h seems to be fine. Ony the MIPS processor options are enabled.

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

Now I have all the tools (mips32el-linux) on Redhat Linux 9 & its source. I 
am trying to build linux for MIPS Atlas 4Kc using this source. When I tried 
the following command:

$ make xconfig

It displayed a window with lot of options. But under processor I could only 
find flavors of x86 core.

I thought there would be options to choose the board & then another to 
choose the processor.

Let me know how to configure the linux build for MIPS Atlas 4Kc board & then 
actually to do a slim (or a lean) build (just the necessary drivers & 
packages).

Also point me to documents regarding the configuration aspect of Linux for 
processors other than the x86 (like the ARM core, MIPS, PPC & like).

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.

Hi Raf,

In /linux/Makefile I see references made to ./scripts/kconfig/conf

but when I take a look at the files inside ./scripts/kconfig/ I don't find 
any conf file instead conf.c

Am I missing some things?

Thanks,
-Mike.

Hi,

I am new to Linux. But I have a strong ARM & MIPS background with kernel 
porting & other stuff.

I want to get a higher-level view of the essential components of Linux for 
MIPS & documentation about the kernel. Please point me to documents on the 
net.

Question 2:
Does Linux-MIPS support the MIPS Atlas board with 4Kc processor using 
mipsisa32-elf build tool chain (Contain the appropriate HAL or BSP)? Is so, 
please point me to documents that gives the exact build steps for the same.

Also do let me know if Cygwin over Win98 dev. environment is good for 
building & developing with Linux-MIPS or do I need to have Linux installed 
on my dev. machine?

Thanks a lot,
-Mike.
