OpenRISC Port

Mentors: Ben Gras, Chris Johns, Christian Svensson

Students: Hesham ALMatary

Status: The project has just started. It's currently in design phase.

Introduction: The project aims to port RTEMS to OpenRISC architecture.

Goal: The overall goal of the project is to have a long-term reliable port of RTEMS to OpenRISC. This requires working on three different sub-tasks: tool-chain, RTEMS cpukit, and BSP(s).

• tool-chain: Basic tools needed to compile and build RTEMS for or1k.
• RTEMS/cpukit: Common OpenRISC architecture code that all or1k targets share.
• BSP(s): The front-end interface for OpenRISC architecture including drivers like: UART, Timer, and/or IRQ.

tool-chain?

Currently, or1k folks are working on submitting their tool-chain upstream, binutils has already been merged. When this project reaches a stable state, the code for building the tool-chain for RTEMS should be upstream too (after or1k code has been merged). Meanwhile, all the work in this area is some sort of patches that can referenced from RSB.

• binutils: By now, binutils is ported to RTEMS, but not yet upstream.
• newlib: A new newlib port (other than or1k port) is in progress. It simply supports setjmp, longjmp, and other necessary configurations.
• gcc: gcc is ported and builds fine with the previous newlib port.
• gdb: TBD
• or1k-sim: TBD
