Linux is running on it, although "officially" only with serial console. Framebuffer drivers for the PMAG-B and the PMGAGB-B graphics cards exist as patches against kernel 2.2 (only tested on the Personal DECstation 5000/xx series), but are not yet integrated into the current Linux/MIPS 2.3 kernel series. Michael Engel is working on this currently, so maybe in near future a patch against 2.3.21 will be available. Keyboard and mouse support for the /125 is AFAIK also work in progress. The DECstation-Linux project homepage is http://decstation.unix-ag.org, a netbootable Kernel is available from Karel van Houten's Webpages at http://www.xs4all.nl/~vhouten/mipsel and a root filesystem for your DECstation can be found on ftp://oss.sgi.com/ (sorry, I do not know the exact path) or on ftp://bolug.uni-bonn.de/mips/, where you can also find additional packages in rpm format (most of which need some beta testers :-).

I don't know about the 5100 but the /25 is about 2/3 the size of a /200.

I can give you exact dimensions tonight after I measure the one I have at home! I'd be very interested in trying out the current MIPS stuff on mine -- I got as far as getting to "can't mount root device" if I remember correctly a couple years ago, but my involvement since then has been limited to just reading an occasional message on the mailing list(s). The major stumbling block I think was the memory sizing routine -- I ended up hardcoding my memory size and recompiling a custom kernel to get that far.

If you have a real RM 200 without the extension C, you need to ask Michael Engel. For a RM 200 C you can compile your own kernel. From the Linux/MIPS HOWTO at http://www.linux.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html: SNI RM200C In contrast to the RM200 (see below) this machine has EISA and PCI slots. The RM200 is supported with the exception of the availability of the onboard NCR53c810A SCSI controller. SNI RM200 If your machine has both EISA and PCI slots, then it is an RM200C; please see above. Due to the slight architectural differences of the RM200 and the RM200C this machine isn't currently supported in the official sources. Michael Engel (engel@numerik.math.uni-siegen.de) has managed to get his RM200 working partially but the patches haven't yet been included in the official Linux/MIPS sources.

Many of the PC-monitors that have five BNC-inputs in addition to the "normal" VGA-15pin-SubD-HD connector can do that. I have tried it with an Eizo F56 and an old Olivetti DSM 50-175 without any problems. Unfortunately I have not yet found a monitor which has only a 15pin-SubD-HD-connector and can work with sync-on-green, so you are most probably out of luck with your one.

Once upon a time I had a hack which did something similar, linking a ramdisk image into the kernel image which resulted in a single file for kernel+ramdisk. This is not only a nice feature for installation kernels but a must for boxes which are only capable to boot a single file, for example via TFTP. The current mechanism, i.e. "addinitrd", works for some boxen which boot ECOFF kernel images, but even not for all of them. Creating an kernel+ramdisk ELF image and converting that into ECOFF, on the other hand, even works for DECstations.

We have an algorithmics board p4032 and an IDT 79s465 board. For now we use pSOS on those targets pSOS 2.5 with prism 2.0 environment. In _my_ spare time I want to start experimenting with linux on mips ( as i'm on my PC ). This means testing and maybe developing. I have no linux kernel hacking experience. I have a few questions: Is there still active linux development for mips ? Is there work being done for the algorithmics p4032 board ? (4640) and/or the IDT 79s465. What is the status of the linux/mips software (for those boards). Do you use remote debugging ? Is there documentation about porting linux/mips to other boards ? We have the following configuration PC connected to target with both serial and network connection. ( no disk target, keyboard, monitor connected to target ) ---------- rs232 ------------ PC --------- TCP/IP ----------- idt/79s465 or algo-p4032 we can program the flashes. with this configuration is it possible to download the linux kernel to the target over the network ? and start debugging (serial)? are the kernel and applications separatly loaded to the target or as one image ? Is the mips kernel for mips buildable as elf and/or hex format ? Have you used the real-time linux kernel on mips ? (KURT: The KU Real Time Linux Project) If so, what are your experiences ? That was the (huge) list of questions. I hope you'll find time to answer them :) I really could use some help starting the stuff here. kind regards, Harm Verhagen From clepple@negativezero.org Thu Jan 27 02:28:42 2000 Received: from tool.negativezero.org (root@hce9e6681.ntc.off-campus.vt.edu [206.158.102.129]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.8/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id CAA27734; Thu, 27 Jan 2000 02:28:40 +0100 (MET) Received-Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 02:28:40 +0100 (MET) Received: from negativezero.org (IDENT:clepple@sprocket.negativezero.org [192.168.42.3]) by tool.negativezero.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA16547; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:26:22 -0500 Sender: clepple@tool.negativezero.org Message-ID: <388F9ECA.DBFCED9D@negativezero.org> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:26:34 -0500 From: Charles Lepple X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20 i586) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Harald Koerfgen CC: Victor Wells , linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com, linux-mips@fnet.fr Subject: Re: Embedded system with RAM Disk References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1278 Lines: 30 Harald Koerfgen wrote: [...] > Once upon a time I had a hack which did something similar, linking a ramdisk > image into the kernel image which resulted in a single file for kernel+ramdisk. You may be in luck -- the PowerPC Linux port does something along these lines (if I understand the issue correctly). It involves using objcopy to add a section into the ELF image, and recompiling some stuff in arch/ppc/*boot to reference the address of the new section. The PPC board that I used would not load ELF images with extra sections, so I resurrected some code that would convert the ramdisk (and gzipped vmlinux, actually -- I'm not sure if the MIPS code does anything like this) into assembly 'define word' statements, assemble the resulting file, and link it in. The file had symbols for initrd_start & _length, and the assembly was surprisingly quick. The ramdisk, in effect, became part of the data section of the kernel image (zImage, actually). I mention this because the conversion to ECOFF might be nuking the ramdisk or something. The aforementioned method almost guarantees that your ramdisk will make it into memory if the whole file is loaded by your boot firmware.

A similar thing is done in Linux/PPC, where the compressed kernel image and ramdisk are embedded into a new ELF object.

The bad news: the R4640 CPU is not suitable for Linux, because it doesn't have memory translation hardware (the TLB). Your P-4032 might have been built with an additional CPU onboard - a QED RM5230. Take off the little daughterboard and look underneath. If so, you're in luck, the RM5230 is suitable. And then: there are a couple of people building Linux on P-4032. But the best hope is that there is a good kernel available now and soon to be made publicly available for Algorithmics' P-5064, and that's not too different.

I won't name the company who wrote the BSP, but it was pretty weak code (a little research in the Linux/PPC lists may turn stuff up though...)

On the MIPS-side the price for firmware weirdness goes to SNI's ARC firmware which always loads programs to the address specified in the address + 8 bytes. The really sick thing is that behaviour is even allowed by the ARC spec even though it's truly undesired behaviour for a kernel loader. Luckily this can be fixed with objcopy :-) Ralf From ralf@oss.sgi.com Sat Jan 29 01:25:14 2000 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 BAA16092; Sat, 29 Jan 2000 01:25:13 +0100 (MET) Received-Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 01:25:13 +0100 (MET) Received: from cacc-27.uni-koblenz.de (cacc-27.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.131.27]) by mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA26431; Sat, 29 Jan 2000 01:25:08 +0100 (MET) Received: by lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de id ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 21:29:09 +0100 Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 21:29:09 +0100 From: Ralf Baechle To: linux@engr.sgi.com, linux-mips@fnet.fr, linux-mips@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: WCHAN on R3000 Message-ID: <20000128212909.A11816@uni-koblenz.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre3us X-Accept-Language: de,en,fr Content-Length: 247 Lines: 6 I've got bugreports which looks like get_wchan() is buggy.

I assume you mean the latter, don't you? > could it be that the error in checksum calculations is that i'm using big > mips configuration ? Improbable. The code is definately working fine for big endian machines. I'm running it on various big endian machines, among them a diskless machine with good results. Have you verified that the packet is actually being sent correct except the bad checksum? At times it can be very tricky to get the cache coherence thing right and the sympthoms with network drivers tend to be things like corrupted packets.
