Whwn I have used your binary and start.elf on my card then it runs OK as well. I have tried even your binary when loaded by u-boot from TFTP server. I have hard time to find right version of U-boot with working network support. Only older version works correctly and I am not sure if that one was compiled by me or even loaded from some site U-Boot 2014.10-rc2-g600877e-dirty (Sep 25 2014 - 09:57:12) But with right U-boot version the binary works as well. I have build successfully ticker binary myself as well. Then I have tested my complete graphic application example. I have to disable keyboard and mouse config and then have obstacle with framebuffer driver setup #if (BSP_HAS_FRAME_BUFFER == 1) #define CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_FRAME_BUFFER_DRIVER #endif #define CONFIGURE_INIT #include rtems/confdefs.h Because raspberrypi BSP does not set define BSP_HAS_FRAME_BUFFER yet. When I forced graphics inclusion then application starts. But there seems to be some problem with some parameters obtained from graphic driver probably or some other similar problem because image is screwed on the couple of the first lines. But start of the display seems to be right. Parameters [#]fb_var_screeninfo: xres : 1280 [#]fb_var_screeninfo: yres : 1024 [#]fb_var_screeninfo: bpp : 32 matches monitor info and values in the driver structures looks reasonable either fb_fix_info = {smem_start = 0xe6fa000 \377, smem_len = 5242880, type = 0, visual = 2, line_length = 160} But there is a mistake with computed line_length. It is number of bytes for one image line. So next change is required --- a/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/raspberrypi/console/fb.c +++ b/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/raspberrypi/console/fb.c @@ -126,7 +126,8 @@ fb_init(void) fb_var_info.bits_per_pixel = init_frame_buffer_entries.depth; fb_fix_info.smem_start = init_frame_buffer_entries.base; fb_fix_info.smem_len = init_frame_buffer_entries.size; - fb_fix_info.line_length = fb_var_info.xres/VIDEO_FONT_WIDTH; + fb_fix_info.line_length = fb_var_info.xres * +((fb_var_info.bits_per_pixel + 7) / 8); printk([#]fb_var_screeninfo: xres : %lu\n, fb_var_info.xres); printk([#]fb_var_screeninfo: yres : %lu\n, fb_var_info.yres); As for the fb_var_info = {xres = 1280, yres = 1024, bits_per_pixel = 32, red = {offset = 0, length = 0, msb_right = 0}, green = {offset = 0, length = 0, msb_right = 0}, blue = {offset = 0, length = 0, msb_right = 0}, transp = {offset = 0, length = 0, msb_right = 0}} the colors fields locations are missing but that information is ignored by actual Microwindows so it is not problem for now. As for the memory map setup, the RTEMS does use only single level pagetable/MMU regions setup for CP15 (MMU) equipped arms. That means that maping works with 1 MB blocks granularity. Look at arm_cp15_start_setup_translation_table() and arm_cp15_start_set_translation_table_entries() functions in in c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/include/arm-cp15-start.h and other related functions in in c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/arm-cp15-set-ttb-entries.c c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/arm-cp15-set-ttb-entries.c The 1 MB granularity/page size is reflected by #define ARM_MMU_SECT_BASE_SHIFT 20 in c/src/lib/libcpu/arm/shared/include/arm-cp15.h So if you detect size of the memory window for VideoCore, you should align it/extend it down and up to 1 MB boundary or at least consider that behavior of the mapping functions. The actual limit of the memory usable for RTEMS application below VideoCore region should be used to setup limit for RTEMS workspace and application memory size later.

There is other solution even if problem with const does not allows simple modification of the table (but brute cast in the function adding video region would work either).

So it has got the right pointer for frame buffer.

So the system is mostly/completely operational before MMU enable. arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table table is declared as const but if it is not marked that way and compiler error is prevented then it can be manipulated before bsp_memory_management_initialize(); in bsp_start_hook_1() is called rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/raspberrypi/startup/bspstarthooks.c bsp_start_hook_1(void) So it should be possible to parse ATAGs or even access VideoCore before MMU is configured. The MMU config requires arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table to be global variable. There is other solution even if problem with const does not allows simple modification of the table (but brute cast in the function adding video region would work either). It is most probable possible to skip to call bsp_memory_management_initialize() from the hook and use local variant of that code which would be RPi BSP specific rtems-yangqiao/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/mminit.c bsp_memory_management_initialize(); #define ARM_CP15_TEXT_SECTION BSP_START_TEXT_SECTION #include bsp/start.h #include bsp/arm-cp15-start.h #include bsp/linker-symbols.h #include bsp/mm.h BSP_START_TEXT_SECTION void bsp_memory_management_initialize(void) { uint32_t ctrl = arm_cp15_get_control(); ctrl |= ARM_CP15_CTRL_AFE | ARM_CP15_CTRL_S | ARM_CP15_CTRL_XP; arm_cp15_start_setup_translation_table_and_enable_mmu_and_cache( ctrl, (uint32_t *) bsp_translation_table_base, ARM_MMU_DEFAULT_CLIENT_DOMAIN, arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table[0], arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table_size ); } So it is quite short sequence and even highly dynamic table can be used. The mechanism to obtain installed/board provided memory size is required even to setup correctly size of memory and heap available for RTEMS system workspace and user application. So this should be solved (at least in long term horizon) some more generic/autoconfigured way. Best wishes, Pavel ___ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
