Hello Martin Re your first question if you are looking to use uCLinux then pick a suitable processor. Unless the hardware budget is very, very, very tight you will save endless amounts of time, energy, thus money using a processor with suitable hardware resources. You'll get excellent and fre

This illustrates the two extremes of development methodology and I won't pick sides, ... If you are planning to work with uClinux you will need to get some grasp of command line and Linux operation anyway. To clarify, the approach I outlined uses the standard Win32 ports of the GCC tool chain

Ciao Fabio Excuse the pedantic posting. It is CodeSorcery, not CodeSurgery. Though the English in me likes the proximity :) Sorcery: Stregoneria Surgery: Chirurgia CSLite is fine for compiling user apps. Why are you messing with elf2flt? ATB On 21/03/2010 20:56, Fabio Giovagnini wrote: H

[uClinux-dev] Coldfire ucLinux bitbanging a PIO.

2010-03-22 Thread g...@novadsp.com
Here's the problem: I need to program some hardware via 2 pins of the PIO (1 clock, 1 data). Timing constraints are tight - 10ms clock cycle time. All this, of course, whilst I maintain very high level services (CAN bus, TCP/IP). The downstream unit also ACKS by asserting a PIO pin, configured

On a Coldfire 5233/5235/5307, you can use one of the programmable interrupt timers to get a 10ms interval. This is a less evil solution than using the timer tick. I don't know if all Coldfire processors have more than one PIT though since I am by no means a Coldfire expert. Note that on at leas

You could try editing it and changing the tail command, providing your editor is smart and doesn't touch the rest of the file. Other wise , use head and tail to pull the script off the front, change it and then put it back together. Lastly, try the attached tail script. Put in ~/bin or so

Hello Wolfgang If you throw an exception from the context of your signal handler, why do you expect that it is thrown in the context of the main thread? I think your expectations are flawed. This is precisely why I am asking the question :). given that the application has a single main thread

If you look at the documentation for signal handlers, you'll see that they get called asynchronous to normal program flow Thanks Gavin for that confirmation. Would it be fair to say that the article here understates the threading issues? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-cp
