README.txt ^^^^^^^^^^ This is the README file for the NuttX port to the ZiLog ZNEO MCU. ZDS-II Compiler Versions ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Version 4.10.2 The ZDS-II version 4.10.2 will not compile NuttX. It reports "internal errors" on some of the files. Upgrades to ZDS-II are available for download from the Zilog website: http://www.zilog.com/software/zds2.asp Version 4.11.0 NuttX compiles correctly with the newer 4.11.0 version of the ZDS-II toolchain. However, I have found a few issues: - The code will not run without the -reduceopt option. There is, apparently, some optimization related issue. This issue has not been analyzed as of this writing. - Not all NuttX logic will not run with the -regvars option. There is at least one failure that has been reported to ZiLOG as incident 81400. - The Pascal add-on interpreter includes a large switch statement and exposes another compiler problem. This is reported as incident 81459. Version 4.11.1 As of this writing (30 September 2010), the latest release of ZDS-II for the ZNEO is 4.11.1. It is unknown if this release includes fixes for incidents 81400 and 81459 or not. It is unknown if the code will run without -reduceopt either. (Basically, it compiles with 4.11.1, but is untested with that version). Version 5.0.1 On November 29, 2012, all of the z16f configurations were converted to use 5.0.1, but have not been verified on a running target. Paths were also updated that are specific to a 32-bit toolchain running on a 64 bit windows platform. Change to a different toolchain, you will need to modify the versioning in Make.defs and setenv.sh; if you want to build on a different platform, you will need to change the path in the ZDS binaries in those same files. Other Versions If you use any version of ZDS-II other than 5.0.1 or if you install ZDS-II at any location other than the default location, you will have to modify two files: (1) configs/z16f2800100zcog/*/setenv.sh and (2) configs/z16f2800100zcog/*/Make.defs. Simply edit these two files, changing 5.0.1 to whatever. Issues ^^^^^^ There are several, important open issues with the ZNEO port (8 as of this writing). See the TODO file in the top-level NuttX directory. One of these should be mentioned here because it causes a failure to compile Nuttx: Description: The file drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd_sdio.c generates an internal compiler error like: mmcsd\mmcsd_sdio.c Internal Error(0503) On line 2524 of "MMCSD\MMCSD_SDIO.C" File , Args(562,46) Status: Open. Recommended workaround: remove mmcsd_sdio.c from drivers/mmcsd/Make.defs. There is no SDIO support for the Z16 anyway Priority: Low This is bug in ZDS-II. It was discovered in version 4.11.0 and still exists in version 4.11.1. Configuration Subdirectories ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - source/ and include/ These directories contain common logic for all z16f2800100zcog configurations. Variations on the basic z8f162800100zcog configuration are maintained in subdirectories. To configure any specific configuration, do the following steps: cd /tools ./configure.sh z16f2800100zcog/ cd make Where is the specific board configuration that you wish to build. The following board-specific configurations are available: ostest ------ This builds the examples/ostest application for execution from FLASH. See examples/README.txt for information about ostest. NOTES: 1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To change this configuration using that tool, you should: a. Build and install the mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt and misc/tools/ b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration process. 2. By default, this configuration assumes that you are using the Cygwin environment on Windows. An option is to use the native CMD.exe window build as described in the top-level README.txt file. To set up that configuration: -CONFIG_WINDOWS_CYGWIN=y +CONFIG_WINDOWS_NATIVE=y And after configuring, make sure that CONFIG_APPS_DIR uses the back slash character. For example: CONFIG_APPS_DIR="..\apps" NOTES: a. If you need to change the toolchain path used in Make.defs, you will need to use the short 8.3 filenames to avoid spaces. On my PC, C:\PROGRA~1\ is is C:\Program Files\ and C:\PROGRA~2\ is C:\Program Files (x86)\ b. You can't use setenv.sh in the native Windows environment. Try scripts/setenv.bat instead. c. At present, the native Windows build fails at the final link stages. The failure is due to problems in arch/z16/src/nuttx.linkcmd that is autogenerated by arch/z16/src/Makefile. The basic problem is the spurious spaces and and carrirage returns are generated at the end of the lines after a line continuation (\ ^M). If these trailing bad characters are manually eliminated, then the build will succeed on the next try. d. Hmmm... when last tested, there some missing .obj files in arch/z16/src. A little additional TLC might be needed to get a reliable Windows native build. pashello -------- Configures to use examples/pashello for execution from FLASH See examples/README.txt for information about pashello. NOTES: 1. This configuration uses the mconf-based configuration tool. To change this configuration using that tool, you should: a. Build and install the mconf tool. See nuttx/README.txt and misc/tools/ b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the reconfiguration process. 2. The last time I tried building this configuration, there were a few undefined symbols from the PCODE logic. It might require a little TLC to get this all working again. 3. The native windows build has not been tried with this configuration but should, in principle, work (see notes for the ostest configuration above). Check out any README.txt files in these s.
