DESCRIPTION
-----------
This demo builds an application and the FreeRTOS (http://www.freertos.org/) kernel for the Cortex-M3 processors
on the Pandaboard. The demo application will simply flash led D2.
The demo can either be run directly by u-boot or loaded using the Linux remoteproc framework found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc.git. The demo was tested against the rpmsg_3.2_rc4
branch of remoteproc.
------------
HOW IT WORKS
------------
The application and kernel are linked into a single file - Demo.bin. This file is loaded by U-Boot into
memory and a loader application is run on the MPU (Cortex-A9). The loader application sets up the L2 MMU
for the Cortex-M3 to map the load address of Demo.bin to the Cortex-M3 virtual address 0x0. The GPIO1 addresses
are also mapped into the Cortex-M3 virtual address space to allow the demo to flash the led. The loader then
releases the Cortex-M3 from reset at which point it should boot the application.
--------
BUILDING
--------
Simply run make - everything should build assuming mkimage and an appropriate cross-compiler are installed.
If using the Linux remoteproc framework to load the firmware you will also need to build the kernel module located
under the KernelModule directory. This module simply powers up the processor once the firmware is loaded (as
there does not appear to be a userspace interface to do this yet).
-------
RUNNING
-------
* If running directly from u-boot:
Copy boot.scr, loader.img and Demo.bin to an SD card with U-boot and X-loader already installed. Insert the
SD card into the Pandaboard and reboot - U-boot should run the boot.scr automatically and boot the FreeRTOS
kernel on the first Cortex-M3 processor which will continuously flash led D2.
* If using the Linux remoteproc framework:
Make sure the kernel you're using uses the same remoteproc version as in the branch listed above. Otherwise
you may have to update the resources table structure (found in Application/startup.c) to match the version
you are using. To run the demo:
Copy Demo.out to /lib/firmware/ducati-m3-core0.xem3 on the root filesystem and reboot.
Load the kernel module (insmod rproc.ko) to start the Cortex-M3 processor - you should get output similar to
the following and the light should be flashing:
