Hey together!
I'm new to RTEMS and just hit some errors, I just can't figure out.
Since I will probably lure around a bit longer, I wanted to give short
introduction, so you can estimate what to expect from me: I'm a
nearly-finished(tm) EE undergrad from Germany, not having any hands-on
experience on RTOS, my embedded knowledge is confined to some hobby
STM32/PIC projects and the usual microcontroller stuff they teach at
uni. Not a great starting point for something as advanced as RTEMS, I'm
aware, but I'm eager to learn it. Besides embedded stuff I'm also into
the RF electronics :)
Goal of my engagement with RTEMS: Setting up a small SMP Demo
Application on the Phytec Zeta i.MX7d Board
https://www.phytec.eu/product-eu/single-board-computer/phyboard-zeta/
for a university project, though after getting to know RTEMS, I hope to
be able to stick around after that, the applications in (aero)space, are
exactly what I'm passionate about! Also I hope after I get to run
everything, I can compile and publish my documentation/experience to
help others with the i.MX 7, since the road has been rather rocky for me
now.
So to my actual problem: I have the before mentioned i.MX 7d Board and a
Lauterbach Power Debug Interface with trace32, to directly flash my
binaries onto the SRAM. I'm using their i.MX7d SABRE configuration file,
which successfully worked with their sample binary and slightly modified
it (mainly deactivating ETF on-chip tracing).
I've built the RTEMS 5 toolchain according to your quick-start guide (
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/index.html), with some
slight modifications arm/imx7 on my Ubuntu 18.04 VM (kernel built from
sources, somehow didn't work otherwise). I also built the simplest demo
application from 2.7, which went without problems (well, after many
hours of troubleshooting stupid mistakes). Now after flashing the binary
directly to the SRAM with my Lauterbach Debugger (without RTEMS OS
Awareness yet), I end up in the exception routine
"_ARMV4_Exception_data_abort_default", with the following
call-tree-hierarchy:
I also tried removing the printf (just letting it count an integer up
and overflow), since I was confused why RTEMS would call a uart_write
function otherwise, but that didn't change anything and actually doesn't
even get to the Init rtems_task.
I already looked on the internet, the documentation and the mailing-list
archive for help (not nearly finished reading through the complete
Classic API Guide and User Manual, that'll take some time).
Unfortunately I'm also new to the Lauterbach Debugger, which seems to be
a beast of its own, so I unfortunately can't provide any useful on-chip
trace data yet. I hope anyone can point me to the, probably rather
obvious, mistake I'm making, any help is appreciated!
Last but not least, thanks for your awesome work on RTEMS!
Kind regards,
Stefan
