From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <36DEDAED.F8384894@jlc.net> Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 14:11:42 -0500 From: Dan Malek MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linuxppc-dev Subject: Embedded 8xx libraries Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: OK....Finally. I promised these a long time ago and now they are on the linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu server in the embedded directory. The file libc-1.99-8xx-tar.gz contains the files with symbolic links for everything found in the source RPM (I think :-). I didn't build this as an RPM because I think it is easier to choose the pieces you need and install on an embedded system. These are built from Gary's glibc-0.961212-1o.src.rpm using egcs-1.0.2 and the -mcpu=860 flag. In addition to having the software floating point, I "fixed" an assumption about the cache line size. The 8xx uses a 16 byte cache line while the other PPC cores seems to all use 32 bytes. This caused problems flushing the copy back cache during dynamic library loading. You can enable the copy back cache initialization (in head.S in the kernel) when you use these libraries. Make sure you also use the -mcpu=860 (or -msoft-float) when compiling and linking your programs since there are different compiler run-time support functions that must also be linked into the program. Once we all catch up to glibc2 I will do this again. -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
