deja vu, already said by a girl in black from Windriver, when I asked her phone number

she asks: why?
I answered: emmm emmm to talk about .... Windriver products, ofcourse, perhaps also about your shoe heels (15cm, at least)
and she said: in this case I'd have to kill you

so - BIG MISTAKE - I offered my phone number, including my name and surname, with a smile - call me, maybe -
and, the next day, it happened my desk got moved to an other place (25Km far from her) :lol: :lol: :lol:

lesson learned: never ask & provide the phone number to woman in black with strange shoe heels,
and never ask about her products, especially if she claims to work for Windriver
have fun
so, I am still looking for a good second slice for my Risc PC/600 with locker-pins
I have been a good boy for all the year, so … make me an happy boy under the xmas tree

I do not know your board, never heard, even if it sounds interesting :D

there is a precise reason for my RiscPC: the Gemini Chip !
It allows the use of a x86 PC card under MSDOS v6.22!
powered with a 486DX4@100Mhz and able to fully access the parallel port(1) and serial port(2)

these two are perfect to convert the RiscPC into a solid and useful 332 development station!
more comfortable than a genuine DOS station!

the alternative is OS/2 Warp3, which allows a fully DOS emulation
while Windows 95 and XP fails the the 332 software, already tried

I have an original SierraC toolchain, plus a full BDM set of tools (hw debugger)
and as "bonus" RiscOS offers a pretty and simple way to develop interfaces

in this case the last DDE is required

I need the second slice in order to install my 332 board inside the RiscPC(3), as I like to have a compact solution on my desk!

(1) used by the BDM engine
(2) used by the TAP engine
(3) it has been mooted inside a box with has the same form factor of a CDROM drive in 5"1/4

It seems that dudes @ cjemicros have some used RiscPC second slice kits in stock!
their kit includes: Acorn Risc PC used second case slice, two slice Pins, EMC Gasket, and feet for vertical mounting

Congrats, buddy :D

even if the title is deceiving, "I am completed" sounds like you were speaking about the day after xmas
when you has already enjoyed the lunch with rum at the end

"do you want more panettone(1), to be drenched with mascarpone(2) & rum ?" (typical question, near Milan)
and so the typical answer after xmas "no, I am fine, I am completed, thanks"



Image
(1) Panettone is a type of cupola shape sweet bread loaf originally from Milan
usually prepared and enjoyed for Christmas and New Year in Italy
(2) Mascarpone is a ​soft ​white ​Italian ​cheese cream often used in desserts, sometimes (typically for xmas) with rum
used in various Lombardy (around Milan) dishes, and is considered a speciality in the region

I can say "no!". It randomly works, and randomly fails, which sounds related to the kernel (more specifically to the SMP, with no SMP enabled I have no issue, it never fails), perhaps something wrong or missing with the SMP initialization.

nyef wrote: Presumably the Linux kernel source could be a resource


Uboot has source for MIPS, and it's bare metal. Unfortunately these guys are not so good in keeping their rooms organized, that due to the more complexity they have in supporting a lot of architectures ( ppc, mips, arm ), with a lot of sub classes (mips by NEC, by IDT, by ATHEROS, …..)

and the resulting code-tree is a bit confusing if you are not already expected in MIPS details.

Linux is too bloated, up to 60 Mbyte of sources, I find myself drowning in all their clutter and a bit tired of having to dig through a lot of sources with a lot of #IFDEF to find the article of good source I need!

I wonder if these new instructions & pipeline interlocks introduced by MIPS-II && MIPS-III && MIPS-IV to eliminate some of the hazards, are exposing a "weakness" within the spin-lock in the kernel-SMP, as I still and randomly get Instruction Bus Error on CPU1.

There is also this problem about stages: no man power to build them!

mmm Octeon'ISA seems compatible with { mips1, mips2, mips3, mips4, mips64r2 }
so in first place I can recycle the job I have done for Atheros RS/P (mips1) and SGI/IP30 (mips4)

even if it seems (I have to check) they have advanced instructions not covered by mips64-unknown-linux-gnu

kernel that comes with the board is a modified 2.6.32.13 one. If you ever want to rebuild it yourself from the GPL archive, you need a mips64-octeon-linux-gnu toolchain that comes with the Cavium SDK. Typical distro toolchains (mips64-unknonwn-*) will fail to compile these kernel sources with errors like these:

kernel FPU emulation, my RS/P(1) has no FPU, and I am sometimes (too often) using it to compile things for my IP30
to compile the kernel it takes 5 hours, while my IP30 2xR12K@400 takes 40 minutes, just to compare the cpupower
but RS/P eats less than 10Watt of electricity, while my IP30 eats up to 400Watt :shock: :shock: :shock:
