This repository contains code and instructions to build the RTEMS Kernel Image (RKI) and core Flight System (cFS) for the LEON3 and LEON4 using the RCC 1.3.1 toolchain and BSPs provided by Gaisler.

This repository uses submodules, so before starting to try to build anything, you need to initialize and update the submodules:

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

The RCC 1.3.1 toolchain provides the GCC Sparc/LEON cross compiler and RTEMS 5.1 compiled for all of the Gaisler Sparc/LEON targets such as LEON3 and LEON4 (GR740)

The RCC 1.3.1 toolchain for linux is available here:

https://www.gaisler.com/index.php/downloads/compilers

The specific compiler I used is here:

https://www.gaisler.com/anonftp/rcc/bin/linux/sparc-rtems-5-gcc-10.2.0-1.3.1-linux.txz

Toolchain installation:

I install the RCC toolchain in a Tools directory in my linux home directory:

$HOME/Tools/rcc-1.3.1-gcc

For a shared workstation, it often makes sense to install the toolchain in the /opt directory:

/opt/rcc-1.3.1-gcc

After you install the toolchain, make sure you set the path to the bin file: For my setup, I put the following in my ~/.profile file (Ubuntu Linux):

# set RCC 1.3.1 PATH
if [ -d "$HOME/Tools/rcc-1.3.1-gcc/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/Tools/rcc-1.3.1-gcc/bin:$PATH"
fi

There are two places in this repository that care about where the tools are installed:

1. RTEMS Kernel Image (rki2) directory. The file is rki2/build/rtems-paths.mak
2. cFS directory - The toolchain file(s) for the LEON3 and LEON4(GR740) Depending on where you install your tools, you may need to adjust these files.

Building the RKI2 (without cFS):

To start, you can build the RKI2 project and run it on a LEON target such as a simulator or the GR740 board.

1. In the rki2 directory check the build/rtems-paths.mak and adjust the toolchain location if needed
2. In the rki2/build/leon-rcc directory, edit the Makefile and select the Board Support Package you want to build for:

##
## Select your BSP here 
##
# BSP ?= gr740_smp
BSP ?= leon3

To build for the gr740, uncomment the gr740_smp line and put a comment marker in front of the leon3 line. To build for the leon3, leave it as is above.

Once you have the compiler installed, the path set to your compiler in your linux .profile, and the BSP selected, just type:

rki2/build/leon-rcc$ make

The RKI project will be compiled and it will result in rki.elf, which is an executable that can be loaded to the target and run. The rki.elf file can also be copied to the renode or qemu directories to run on a simulator. The simulators will only run the rki compiled for the leon3.

When you run this project, you will see the following on the UART: RTEMS Kernel Image Booting
