Installing rtlinux on mpc860 board

Installing rtlinux on mpc860 board

[Kapil Konde]

Hi All,
        I am new to rtlinux. I want to install rtlinux on mpc860 board.
I have a mpc860T mdppro board. Can somebody guide me on which rtlinux I
should use and what are the steps that I will require to perform to
install the rtlinux on board.

Thanks in advance,
Kapil.

We have a patch for RTLinux-3.0 on our  FTP  server,  as  well  as  a
kernel  that is known to work with this patch (there are other, newer
kernel versions as well, but these might need a little work  adapting
the  patch).  Included  with  the  patch  comes  a `README.DENX' with
detailed description of the patch and installation procedure.

Please note that there is also  a  patch  for  RTAI-24.1.4.  We  will
maintain  RTAI  support  in  the  future,  but  may (or may not) drop
support for RTLinux (no technical reasons, just because of the patent
issue).

Please see:
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/linux-2.4.4-2001-05-12.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/rtlinux-3.0-denx.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/rtai-24.1.4-denx.tar.bz2
and maybe:
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/linux-2.4.4-2001-07-23.tar.bz2

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang Denk

Hi,
        Thanks for reply. I downloaded the rtlinux kernel you suggested and
patched it from your ftp site. After I configured it and tried to do "make
dep"  it gave me error  "llinux/limits.h no such file or directory" in
scripts/mkdep.c . I have extracted the sources in my home directory. Is it
necessry that I should extract it under /usr/src/linux or I am missing
something.
        Also I am a littlebit confused about what machine type I should
select for my mdppro board.

Thanks and regards,
Kapil.

Sorry, I found that I had invalid link in my usr/src.

However when I do a meke xconfig I do not see any option like "RTLinux kernel
extension" in platform support.

Thanks and regards,
Kapil

"make xconfig" is broken. Use "make menuconfig" instead.

The human mind  ordinarily  operates  at  only  ten  percent  of  its
capacity. The rest is overhead for the operating system.
