tinyOS make error

There is an error might be occurred when compiling.

/opt/msp430/msp430/include/stdlib.h:52: syntax error before "asm"
make: *** [exe0] Error 1

Here is a solution,

Modify Line 52 of /opt/msp430/msp430/include/stdlib.h:

extern void exit(int) __asm__(”__stop_progExec__”) __ATTR_CONST__;

Into

extern void exit(int) __ATTR_CONST__;
void exit(int a) __asm__("__stop_progExec__");

Picture flow for ARM embedded system

This is the final project of SOC design lab. The goal is using FPGA to decoding jpeg files and show the pictures on the LCD screen. We use touch panel ( not support multi-touch) to create ipod like picture view applicaiton.

How to compile the g++ object file with gcc

Here is an example shows how to compiler a program with gcc with objects files which are compiled by g++

Example codes:
( Reference from here )

test.c　
　#include
　#include
　#include "adio.h"
　#include "adstring.h"
　int main()
　{
　　char input[21];
　　char buffer[11];
　　char buf[11];
　　const char* str = "hello world!!";
　　adstring_strcpy(buffer, str, 11);
　　puts(buffer);
　　adio_fgets(input, 21, stdin);
　　puts(input);
　　adstring_strcpy(buffer, input, 5);
　　puts(buffer);
　　int a = 12345;
　　puts(adstring_itoa(buf, a, 11));
　　puts(buf);
　　return 0;
　}

adio.h
　#ifndef ADVENCE_IO_H
　#define ADVENCE_IO_H
　#include
　char* adio_fgets(char* buf, int num, FILE* fp);
　void adio_stdinclean(void);
　#endif

adstring.h
　#ifndef ADVENCE_STRING_H
　#define ADVENCE_STRING_H
　char* adstring_strcpy(char* to, const char* from, int num);
　char* adstring_itoa(char* to, int from, int num);
　#endif

adio.c
　#include
　#include
　char* adio_gets(char* buf, int num, FILE* fp)
　{
　　char* find = 0;
　　fgets(buf, num, stdin);
　　if ((find = strrchr(buf, '\n')))
　　{
　　　*find = '\0′;
　　}
　　else
　　{
　　　while (fgetc(fp) != '\n');
　　}
　　return buf;
　}
　void adio_stdinclean()
　{
　　while (getchar() != '\n');
　}

adstring.c
　#include
　#include
　char* adstring_strcpy(char* to, const char* from, int num)
　{
　　int size = num-1;
　　strncpy(to, from, size);
　　if (strlen(from) >= size)
　　{
　　　to[size] = '\0′;
　　}
　　return to;
　}
　char* adstring_itoa(char* to, int from, int num)
　{
　　char tmp[11];
　　sprintf(tmp, "%d", from);
　　adstring_strcpy(to, tmp, num);
　　return to;
　}



Make static library , here we assume object files need to be compiler in g++
　g++ adio.c adstring.c -Wall -c (this line will come out with adio.o adstring.o)
　ar rcs libadlib.a adio.o adstring.o (archieve into libadlib.a file)

　gcc test.c -I. -L. -ladlib -o test

Here, there are some errors say that the function with object files is not found.
The reason is that compiler will change c++'s function name while compiling.
In order to tell compiler not to change function name, we can use extern "C"

We can modify adio.c adstring.c into :

adio.c
　#include
　#include

　#ifdef __cplusplus
　extern "C" {
　#endif

　char* adio_gets(char* buf, int num, FILE* fp)
　{
　　char* find = 0;
　　fgets(buf, num, stdin);
　　if ((find = strrchr(buf, '\n')))
　　{
　　　*find = '\0′;
　　 }
　　else
　　{
　　　while (fgetc(fp) != '\n');
　　}
　　return buf;
　}
　void adio_stdinclean()
　 {
　　while (getchar() != '\n');
　}

　#ifdef __cplusplus
　}
　#endif

adstring.c
　#include
　#include

　#ifdef __cplusplus
　extern "C" {
　#endif

　char* adstring_strcpy(char* to, const char* from, int num)
　{
　　int size = num-1;
　　strncpy(to, from, size);
　　if (strlen(from) >= size)
　　{
　　　to[size] = '\0′;
　　} 　　return to;
　}
　char* adstring_itoa(char* to, int from, int num)
　{
　　char tmp[11];
　　sprintf(tmp, "%d", from);
　　adstring_strcpy(to, tmp, num);
　　return to;
　}


　#ifdef __cplusplus
　}
　#endif

Complie MASE alpha version problem

It can be complied with pisa version, however there are some error inforamation pop out using alpha configuraiton.simplescalar

There are two files need to be midified

1.machine.h a. (line 223)
= orginal =
/* internal decoder state */
extern enum md_opcode md_mask2op[];
extern unsigned int md_opoffset[];
extern unsigned int md_opmask[];
extern unsigned int md_opshift[];

= change into =
extern enum md_opcode md_mask2op[MD_MAX_MASK+1];
extern unsigned int md_opoffset[OP_MAX];
extern unsigned int md_opmask[OP_MAX];
extern unsigned int md_opshift[OP_MAX];

b. codes below part a
/* global opcode names, these are returned by the decoder (MD_OP_ENUM()) */
enum md_opcode {
OP_NA = 0, /* NA */
#define DEFINST(OP,MSK,NAME,OPFORM,RES,FLAGS,O1,O2,I1,I2,I3) OP,
#define DEFLINK(OP,MSK,NAME,MASK,SHIFT) OP,
#define CONNECT(OP)
#include "machine.def"
OP_MAX /* number of opcodes + NA */ };

move them before part a

2.mae-mem.c (line 132)
= orginal =
static unsigned int /* total latency of access */

= change into =
unsigned int /* total latency of access */

There some bugs that have been discoveried.

How to connect to wireless AP in text mode

INTERFACE_NAME: your wireless interface name, you can find it by "wconfig" command
AP_NAME : the ap you want to connect
AP_PASSWARD: the key for the AP_NAME

[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig INTERFACE_NAME essid "AP_NAME" key "AP_PASSWARD"

if the IP is accessed by DHCP
[root@localhost ~]# dhclient INTERFACE_NAME

GdkFont usage

To use GdkFont, you must specify the font name
And it must specify by a XLFD describing

The simplest way is set "-*-*-medium-r-normal--N-*-*-*-p-*-*-1"
N = the font size

mase simplescalar make error

There are two possible errors due to newer version of gcc.

1. /lib64/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value
( if the system is 32-bit, error might be /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value )
　　mark all "extern int errno;" ( eval.c misc.c range.c )
　　and replace it by "#include "

2. mase-mem.c:134: error: static declaration of ‘mem_access_latency’ follows non-static declaration
mase-mem.h:104: error: previous declaration of ‘mem_access_latency’ was here
　　find "mem_access_latency" in mase-mem.h and delete "static"
