By no means - the 3100 has a 16MHz R2000A and your 5000/33 has a 33MHz R3000A.

Hi!
 
I am trying install Linux to SGI = IRIS XS24=20 with R3000 processor and get many problems. This system recognize only = ECOFF=20 format for booting kernel ( i think).
 
And i don't compile kernel for = R3000 in this=20 format (and other formats too) - many mistakes.
 
How i can compile kernel = ?
Do you compile kernel for R000 in ECOFF format for me = ?
What computers with R3000 support = LINUX?=20
This informations very important = for=20 me.
 
Sorry for my bad=20 english.

Tia, JimL > Sure, they are GPLed. Well, they're not so huge and I attach them. Brief description: mkflash.functions contains general-purpose functions to make things easier. mkflash.base creates ~2.5 MB root fs that contains tailored RH boot procedure, network utilities to startup network (ifconfig and route) and ash. All binaries are from standard Roughcuts CD. We just sripped all of them including shared libraries. Also, ifcfg-eth0 might puzzle you, it sets ip address from Ethernet one. Really, we use the driver that emulates Ethernet over shared VME bus, so last digit in Ethernet address identifies location of the box in VME bus and our customers need to set ip according to 'geographic' location of the box on VME. The root fs is assumed to be mounted read-only. In order to provide rw storage, 4 MB ramdisk is mounted during boot up on /tmp and all files that are created/modified during RH boot procedure are links to somewhere on /tmp (e.g. /var is link to /tmp/var). Note, if you don't use flash you might just mount root fs rw. Also, 4 MB is default ramdisk size, software needs much less. Well, if you mount the root fs rw over NFS and don't use ramdisk, add rm (now rm is dummy script). Otherwise, you'll have problems on boot. mkflsh.x creates ~10 MB root fs that contains X temrminal software. Note, we use a small subset of Russian fonts only. These fonts contain standard ASCII in 0-127 and Russian letters in 128-255. We use framebuffer X server (we really need up to 4 X servers, because there might be up to 4 video adapters) and mwm. I love DEC's VXT2000 (the best X terminal to my taste), so we plan to write an X client that will performs adinistration tasks and looks as VXT's one. The last thing is Xnoinput shared library, it's used to switch keyboard and mouse between X servers. mkflash.i adds the rsh daemon to the base image. The pam module is pam_permit, so you might just do everething remotely. We use this image to store our software in flash. Regards, Gleb.

The Linux kernel may be compiled in ELF only. Also, linker for Linux/MIPS doesn't support ECOFF at all. This feature was dropped recently because nobody really needs them. The Linux/MIPS kernel sources contain elf2ecoff, so you may convert ELF images to ECOFF ones. (Don't forget link your image with -N, current ld/eld2ecoff are buggy.) > Do you compile kernel for R000 in ECOFF format for me ?

I would say that it is possible as I have a Beowulf cluster here built out of Indigo2s. It's been up for almost three months now. I have recently added (E)ISA support for the Indigo2 to the CVS archive (although it is only in the linux_2_2 branch until I get my devel machine fixed) and I have gotten a 3com Etherlink III card working in it as well.

Following tips and instructions on http://www.xs4all.nl/~vhouten/mipsel/ can result in a DECstation running Linux. > Is my only sollution crossdevelopment? Well, earlier today the /133 compiled a kernel from fresh cvs source running Linux, but a kernel can also be cross-compiled if you follow the steps in the Linux/MIPS HOWTO at http://www.linux.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html. Compiling programs I would prefer to do natively, but that is not always necessary as ftp.linux.sgi.com has a lot pre-built packages.

You only need to place the kernel to boot on the FAT partition on the first drive, start it and that's it. The machine uses the same partition scheme as PCs with the exception that the boot blocks and bootable flags in the partition table are unused. There are several models of NeTpower machines, their uniprocessor machine seems to be identical with the Acer PICA. You'd probably have to do some kernel hacking to do in order to get it running, would you be interested and capable of doin this? I can help you with that.

To save interrupt overhead, serial drivers enable interrupts during the open call, i.e. at the moment the interrupts are really needed. The console driver opens a low-level serial driver anyway. So, you don't need to enable interrupts at the boot stage even for console. The zs driver is reliable enough (if Harald applied all patches) to be a source for references. Or just look at standard serial.c. Note, the zs driver allocates irq (in request_irq) in zs_init, but _enables_ interrupts in startup() (called from zs_open, in particular). The standard serial driver allocates and enables irq in one place, during open. Also, what might puzzles you is the fact the zs driver has additional code for the debugger/keyboard support. The code programs interrupts for lines that are used for debuuging/keyboard IO. But in this case, those lines are excluded from the open procedure, so high-level drivers can't use them and it's very special case. Hope this helps, Gleb.

The console driver is started before a frame buffer device is ready. The console driver determines it is able to work if the underlying device is available (look at con_init() in drivers/char/console.c). The procedure is quite simple: the console driver looks on return value from con_startup. Usually, to tell the console driver there will be a frame buffer device later, conswitchp is set to dummy_con (look at arch/mips//setup.c, for example). The startup routine of the dummy console just returns non-NULL value. Later, register_framebuffer will call take_over_console to switch from the dummy console to the real frame buffer. If the console driver gets NULL value from con_startup it just doesn't initialize itself. So you just haven't console at all at this case or more probably the serial console is still used.

The IOASIC handles up to 32 interrupts itself. arch/mips/kernel/head.S disables the CPU interrupts, so when the first IOASIC interrupt is unmasked, the appropriate CPU interrupt is unconditionally enabled as well and will never be disabled again because another IOASIC interrupt may be enabled. I am simply relying on the assumption that the IOASIC will not generate an interrupt if all interrupts are disabled in the IOASIC itself and it seems to work. ---------- :-) Regards, Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Airlie To: Sent: Thursday, September 16, 1999 12:31 PM Subject: query about arch/mips/dec/irq.c (mask & unmask irq) > > In the DECstation irq.c code > > mask_irq does > if (dec_interrupt[irq_nr].iemask) { /* This is an ASIC > interrupt */ > *imr &= ~dec_interrupt[irq_nr].iemask; > dummy = *imr; > dummy = *imr; > } else /* This is a cpu interrupt */ > set_cp0_status(ST0_IM, read_32bit_cp0_register(CP0_STATUS) & > ~dec_interrupt[irq_nr].cpu_mask); > > and unmask does > if (dec_interrupt[irq_nr].iemask) { /* This is an ASIC interrupt > */ > *imr |= dec_interrupt[irq_nr].iemask; > dummy = *imr; > dummy = *imr; > } > set_cp0_status(ST0_IM, read_32bit_cp0_register(CP0_STATUS) | > dec_interrupt[irq_nr].cpu_mask); > > Note the else in the mask_irq code but not in the unmask, does this matter > at all ? or should the else on the other one be there ? > > Dave. > > ------------ David Airlie, David.Airlie@ul.ie,airlied@skynet -------- > Telecommunications Research Centre, ECE Dept, University of Limerick \ > http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied -- Telecommunications Researcher \ > --- TEL: +353-61-202695 ----------------------------------------------- > From paul@milleng.com.au Fri Sep 17 00:30:44 1999 Received: from m4.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (m4.c2.telstra-mm.net.au [24.192.3.19]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id AAA06613; Fri, 17 Sep 1999 00:30:42 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 00:30:42 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au [24.192.3.20]) by m4.c2.telstra-mm.net.au (8.8.6 (PHNE_14041)/8.8.6) with ESMTP id IAA22929 for ; Fri, 17 Sep 1999 08:30:33 +1000 (EST) X-BPC-Relay-Envelope-From: paul@milleng.com.au X-BPC-Relay-Envelope-To: X-BPC-Relay-Sender-Host: m5.c2.telstra-mm.net.au [24.192.3.20] X-BPC-Relay-Info: Message delivered directly.

I have a couple of questions regarding these instructions that I hope that someone may have an answer to. Q1: === The instructions asks to download the following source packages: binutils-2.8.1.tar.gz binutils-2.8.1-2.diff.gz egcs-1.0.3a.tar.gz egcs-1.0.3a-1.diff.gz glibc-2.0.6.tar.gz glibc-crypt-2.0.6.tar.gz glibc-localedata-2.0.6.tar.gz glibc-linuxthreads-2.0.6.tar.gz Some patches are also required which are: binutils-2.8.1-mips.patch egcs-1.0.3a-mips.patch glibc-2.0.6-mips.patch I searched ftp.linux.sgi.com for the above file but I could ONLY find : binutils-2.8.1.tar.gz So where can I get the rest of the files from ? A full path into an ftp site would be really appreciated. Q2: === I am actually trying to crosscompile the linux/MIPS kernel. To get the sources I used the anonymous cvs server from ftp.linux.sgi.com/cvs to checkout the linux sources with a linux_2_2 tag which I assumed is a stable version for 2.2 kernel. Is that correct ? If not which is the latest linux/MIPS kernel that I can get. Thank you for your help.

What you may do is to extract the binary files from the compiled MIPS RPM package, and install them manually in your /usr/mips-linux or /usr/local/mips-linux. Egcs and Binutils are here: ftp.linux.sgi.com /pub/linux/mips/src/egcs/cross-egcs-1.0.3a-1.src.rpm ftp.linux.sgi.com /pub/linux/mips/src/binutils/cross-binutils-2.8.1.src.rpm You may compile the source RPM packages manually if you extract them first with RPM, or you may compile them automatically with RPM. > Q2: > === > I am actually trying to crosscompile the linux/MIPS kernel.

Hitting the reset button gives me a PC usually in do_IRQ, If I insert a prom_printf into the dz.c interrupt handler to print a . every time an interrupt occurs it boots up the machine fine, the SCSI disks get detected straight away ... The dots only start printing after the scsi : 1 host piece also, I thought they would start straight away so I'm missing something here with the interrupt code .. Any ideas anyone?

So I've turned off the dz transmitter enable for the dz serial console except when the character is written or the console has been opened .. seems to work, I get interrupts only for when I should ... still something wrong somewhere but I'm happy enough with my workaround for now :-) Dave. ------------ David Airlie, David.Airlie@ul.ie,airlied@skynet -------- Telecommunications Research Centre, ECE Dept, University of Limerick \ http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied -- Telecommunications Researcher \ --- TEL: +353-61-202695 ----------------------------------------------- From ralf@lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de Fri Sep 17 23:03:26 1999 Received: from mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (mailhost.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.64.1]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id XAA28614; Fri, 17 Sep 1999 23:03:25 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 23:03:25 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (cacc-14.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.131.14]) by mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id XAA16636 for ; Fri, 17 Sep 1999 23:03:22 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from ralf@localhost) by lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA06535; Fri, 17 Sep 1999 22:29:29 +0200 Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 22:29:29 +0200 From: Ralf Baechle To: Dave Airlie Cc: linux-mips@fnet.fr, linux@engr.sgi.com Subject: Re: CVS 2.3.9 kernel Message-ID: <19990917222929.D6143@uni-koblenz.de> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4us In-Reply-To: ; from Dave Airlie on Fri, Sep 17, 1999 at 05:44:00PM +0100 X-Accept-Language: de,en,fr Content-Length: 393 Lines: 11 On Fri, Sep 17, 1999 at 05:44:00PM +0100, Dave Airlie wrote: > What is the current CVS status?

DIPC can be used to build and program clusters (multi-computers) very easily, and provides distributed program developers with semaphores, messages and Transparent Distributed Shared Memory (DSM). The following are some of the features in DIPC 2.0: *) In addition to i386 and m68k, it now supports PowerPC, MIPS, Alpha and SPARC processors. *) There is a considerable speed increase in DIPC's Distributed Shared Memory operations. *) The code is SMP-friendly. *) Compiles under glibc 2.1 and libc. *) Is easily usable on clusters with diskless machines. *) DIPC Is GPL, so you can do any modifications you may like, for example to adapt it to any custom distributed programming hardware you may have.

In addition to performance and code size improvements (20% improvement in dhrystone 2.1), gcc 2.95 supports targeting the MIPS16 instruction set. I've placed an interim set of patches for gcc-2.95.1 at ftp://ftp.place.org/pub/nop/linuxce/gcc-2.95.1-interim-990916.patch.gz . I'm uncertain about their correctness; however, using binutils 2.8.1+mips-patches, they do successfully build glibc-2.0.7+mips-patches and the Linux CE dev tree kernel. I have not extensively tested the binaries produced. I don't use a compiler hosted on Linux/MIPS yet, so that's totally untested. Also, I haven't tried any languages besides C. I wouldn't be posting this at all except that I'm about to go semi-offline for a couple of days and I figured it would be good to share any kind of progress. So what do you get out of this? I dunno, maybe a starting place, maybe a waste of time.

First, keep in mind that the built-in ISDN on a PD5000 is 1 B-channel only and does not have a built-in NT1 (I think). Second, the PD5000 shipped with a sticker covering the jack so you wouldn't know it was there - it was never supported under Ultrix. The rumor I heard was that DEC fubared the hardware design and found out too late that it wouldn't work - that could be BS though. I also heard it's the same interface chip as the Sparcstation LX used, if you want to research more. It's been awhile since I ran BSD on my DECstations, but I remember that OpenBSD detected the device as existing - not sure if it ever could do anyting with it. I personally suspect that the answer is "no". I used to admin a bunch of those in the heyday of Ultrix, and I never saw nor heard of anyone making a productive use of that jack. Even if you could make it work just for hack-value, a 64K ISDN interface isn't really that exciting. -Mitch From mh@cs.tu-berlin.de Tue Sep 21 21:06:44 1999 Received: from mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (root@mail.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.13]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id VAA07267; Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:06:43 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:06:43 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from nicky.cs.tu-berlin.de (mh@nicky.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.43]) by mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id VAA19979; Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:01:13 +0200 (MET DST) From: Matthias Heidbrink Received: (from mh@localhost) by nicky.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.9.1/8.9.0) id VAA27723; Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:01:06 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199909211901.VAA27723@nicky.cs.tu-berlin.de> Subject: Re: ISDN on Personal DECstation In-Reply-To: <19990921111719.A19683@sfgoth.com> from Mitchell Blank Jr at "Sep 21, 1999 11:17:19 am" To: Mitchell Blank Jr Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:01:05 +0200 (MET DST) CC: linux-mips@fnet.fr X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL60 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1226 Lines: 28 Hi Mitchell, > > Does somebody knows if it would be possible to connect a Personal > > DECstation's ISDN to a public ISDN network, looking at the hardware side? > > First, keep in mind that the built-in ISDN on a PD5000 is 1 B-channel > only and does not have a built-in NT1 (I think). That's no problem, just the opposite. In Europe the phone company always delivers the NT1, you never get to see the phone wires and the UK0 interface or whatever they use. Therefore all ISDN devices sold in Europe have an S0 interface (if they don't have PRI, of course ;-)), not UK0 or something like that. > Even if you could make it work > just for hack-value, a 64K ISDN interface isn't really that exciting. One again, it's not so bad in Europe. Here in Germany, my ISDN line (BRI) costs less than two analog phone lines, so everybody who does serious computer stuff uses ISDN. A DECstation with Linux would make a nice Internet Dial-up server and firewall, so it's definitely worth a try.

Universities may be a bit spoiled though, but for anybody else 64kbit starts to feel good :-) -Tor From ralf@lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de Wed Sep 22 23:04:41 1999 Received: from mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (mailhost.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.64.1]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id XAA24422; Wed, 22 Sep 1999 23:04:35 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 23:04:35 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (cacc-14.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.131.14]) by mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id XAA23598 for ; Wed, 22 Sep 1999 23:04:32 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from ralf@localhost) by lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id NAA04444 for linux-mips@fnet.fr; Wed, 22 Sep 1999 13:27:42 +0200 Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 13:27:42 +0200 From: Ralf Baechle To: linux-mips@fnet.fr Subject: dz driver Message-ID: <19990922132742.A4440@uni-koblenz.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4us X-Accept-Language: de,en,fr Content-Length: 149 Lines: 4 Could somebody of the DECstation people please check if the fix for sgiserial.c which I checked into CVS last night also is required for it?

Why I'm care of any changes in the serial drivers is the fact I observe the situation where my Baget with the Zilog chip running 2.3.9 hangs somewhere in getty and other Baget with the VAC chip not. 2.2.1 works fine. Well, the zs driver seems to handle this case. Perhaps, we might remove that unnecessary check in the zs driver too (hint!), but thinking the zs driver full of other unnecessary things it's not so urgent. Regarding the patch why to not call transmit_chars() instead of manually feed the chip. transmit_chars makes that in the right way (and wakes up others levels, if needed, btw). Also, do you really need setup new value in the junk local variable just before exit from rs_put_char :-). Regards, Gleb.

I've looked into that a while ago, but the bootblocks are very depending on several NetBSD kernel libraries (for stand-alone operation), and they have only ffs filesystem code, not ext2fs. We seem to have some options: - Porting NetBSD bootblocks: + porting standalone libs to linux/mips + changing ufs code to ext2fs - Porting silo (Sparc two-stage loader) + changing sparc assembler code to mips + changing sun prom calls to decstation prom calls.

My guess is porting silo, since that would mean working with already existant linux boot mechanisms. I guess some of the work done on the other MIPS cpu ports (like the SGIs) might also be copied for this? I tried looking at the "TURBOchannel firmware specification" and the "TURBOchannel SCSI module functional specification" from the web site, but neither says anything very specific about the SCSI hardware firmware capabilities. Pointers? We have lots of old MIPS hardware and manuals, I just need to know what to look for. A completely unrelated question: where would be a good place to upload some RH6 packages I've compiled for mipsels?

I'm working on the Vr41xx port. First, there was this problem that we would lose the timer irq click. It just stopped clicking. /proc/interrupts showed no increase for timer. It happend when we pushed lots of data through the serial port. Mike had an idea that it might be because of interrupts occurring during other interrupts. But why did the timer irq stop clicking? I could still use the console w/keyboard on my Clio. cat /proc/interrupts showed the other irqs clicking, but not timer. It was like the timer irq was getting masked. Hmmmm... I poked around and saw irq.c masking and unmasking in do_IRQ. I looked at i386 and couldn't find a similar operation. So I commented them out to see if that would fix the mysterious lost timer problem. It did! Cool. I figured the Vr is just finicky and doesn't like to be messed around with masking/unmasking so much. But... now a new problem. If all my interrupts are set for SA_INTERRUPT, no problem. If I have one that isn't SA_INTERRUPT, problem, since that lets do_IRQ do __sti. I wonder - if an interrupt occurs inside do_IRQ, what happens? Does it come back to do_IRQ when it's finished? It should, right? But if it didn't, it could have left the timer masked. I'm also thinking "maybe there is some mips thing going on here". Any advice?

Checkout libext2fs which has everything you're going to need. Somewhere on {www,ftp}.linux.sgi.com there is also a bootloader for the Visual Workstation which demonstrates how to use that library in the absence of a UNIX environment.

When the second interrupt is entered, make sure that it's stack pointer is loaded correctly. It should the same as for the first one minus a few bytes for stackframe and other crappola. What is the source of your timer interrupt? Is it the internal cycle counter?

OK, but I thought it would be more than a few bytes since doesn't the first one push the cpu context onto the stack? How can I determine the stack pointer for the first and second (contemporary) interrupts? 100 printks per second sounds a little overwhelming. > What is the source of your timer interrupt? Is it the internal cycle > counter? On the Vr41xx it's called RTCLong1. It feeds though the ICU and out to a dedicated cpu interrupt (int1 I think).

Thanks, but then I have a question: how a bootloading on DECstations works? so, where do prom finds a bootblock? does it have a direct knowledge of partitions?

No, but you can add debug code to your interrupt handler which checks that if the interrupted code was in kernel mode and the current stackpointer is kernelsp - PT_SIZE, then something is smelly. Ok rather improbable case if you're using the standard macros from like the other systems, they should take care of things. Ralf
