6.2: Executing the Sample Applications

How each sample application executable is downloaded to your target board and executed is very dependent on the board you are using. The following is a list of commonly used BSPs classified by their RTEMS CPU family and pointers to instructions on how to use them. [NOTE: All file names should be prepended with rtems-4.7.2/c/src/lib/libbsp.]

arm/edp7312

The arm/edp7312 BSP is for the ARM7-based Cogent EDP7312 board.

c4x/c4xsim

The c4x/c4xsim BSP is designed to execute on any member of the Texas Instruments C3x/C4x DSP family using only on-CPU peripherals for the console and timers.

i386/pc386

See i386/pc386/HOWTO

i386/pc486

The i386/pc386 BSP specially compiled for an i486-class CPU.

i386/pc586

The i386/pc386 BSP specially compiled for a Pentium-class CPU.

i386/pc686

The i386/pc386 BSP specially compiled for a Pentium II.

i386/pck6

The i386/pc386 BSP specially compiled for an AMD K6.

m68k/gen68360

This BSP is for a MC68360 CPU. See m68k/gen68360/README for details.

m68k/mvme162

See m68k/mvme162/README.

m68k/mvme167

See m68k/mvme167/README.

mips/jmr3904

This is a BSP for the Toshiba TX3904 evaluation board simulator included with mipstx39-rtems-gdb. The BSP is located in mips/jmr3904. The TX3904 is a MIPS R3000 class CPU with serial ports and timers integrated with the processor. This BSP can be used with either real hardware or with the simulator included with mipstx39-rtems-gdb. An application can be run on the simulator by executing the following commands upon entering mipstx39-rtems-gdb:

target sim --board=jmr3904
load
run

powerpc/mcp750

See powerpc/motorola_shared/README.

powerpc/mvme230x

See powerpc/motorola_shared/README.MVME2300.

powerpc/psim

This is a BSP for the PowerPC simulator included with powerpc-rtems-gdb. The simulator is complicated to initialize by hand. The user is referred to the script powerpc/psim/tools/psim.

sparc/erc32

The ERC32 is a radiation hardened SPARC V7. This BSP can be used with either real ERC32 hardware or with the simulator included with sparc-rtems-gdb. An application can be run on the simulator by executing the following commands upon entering sparc-rtems-gdb:

target sim
load
run

RTEMS has many more BSPs and new BSPs for commercial boards and CPUs with on-CPU peripherals are generally welcomed.
