Linux/RT-Linux CAN driver and CANopen framework

CTU FEE CAN Bus Projects and CTU CAN FD Open-Source IP Core (http://canbus.pages.fel.cvut.cz/).

The OrtCAN project implements CAN and CANopen components which allows to implement EDS configured devices as well as access CANopen object dictionaries from Qt and JAVA applications. It is compatible with Linux kernel character API driver (LinCAN), SocketCAN and NuttX. The project is hosted by SourceForge.net (http://ortcan.sourceforge.net/). The CAN driver and other CAN related components have been founded in frame of the OCERA project - Open Components for Embedded Real-time Applications project. Short introduction to OCERA CAN components can be found in the Fifth Real-Time Linux Workshop article Open Source Components for the CAN Bus. The LinCAN driver documentation is included in the archive and can is readable in as separate file LinCANdoc-0.3.pdf. There is OCERA CANopen infrastructure user quide on this page ocera-canopen-ug.pdf. See LinCAN driver documentation for build instructions.

The currect development sources version can be found in GIT repository of OrtCAN project:

Version 0.7 of uLan RS-485 driver released (ul_drv-0.7.tar.gz)
Added some small utilities and driver updated for support of 2.6.x kernels. Driver should work out of box on most 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels with or without devfs. Driver supports classical UARTs, 82C510 UARTs and OX16C954 PCI cards. Preliminary USB converter support is included as well.

Sources moved to GIT repository on SourceForge site
The latest driver sources and core part of MCS51 sources with Keil and SDCC compatible interface has been committed into SourceForge GIT (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ulan/develop/). Next release of driver will include support for USB <-> uLan converter.

uLan Utilities Library (GAVL, HTIMER, etc.)

uLan Utilities Library (ulut-090225.tar.gz)
This library contains more basic C constructions. There are basic item containers partially resembling to C++ standard template library (STL). There are lists, Generalized AVL trees (GAVL), hierarchical timers framework (in the fact priority queues, HTIMER) and generic sorted arrays/collections (GSA). SourceForge download page.

Attempt to modify GLIB to use GAVL algorithms
The GTREE (AVL based tree) sources has been modified to use same algorithms as used in uLut library. This leads to considerable speedup (15-50%) but income is not probably revolutionary enough to cause propagation of the changes into official GLIB sources. The code size is same as for original algorithms. The algorithms are implemented without any need for recursive subroutines calls. The negative side of the change is that GAVL requires additional parent pointer in the node structures. Many of advanced features of GAVL algorithms cannot be exposed through actual GLIB API: non-unique support, cut first, iterators, fast node delete for items with internal nodes, resorting after compare function change, priority queues extension, etc.

BDM Driver for GDB and Linux engflag.gif (375 bytes) (also as PDF) pdficon15.gif (146 bytes)

BDM flash loader utility ver010117
This version contains first experiments for future project of building GPLed TPU debugger. Current version autodedects next flashes "amd29f400", "amd29f800" in 16bit mode and "amd29f040" in single 8 bit configuration. It should be an easy task to add more flash types and configurations.

BDM driver 001129 (alpha state) (Compatible with 2.4.0 and DEVFS)

BDM flash loader utility ver010710
Added support for "amd29f010x2" suggested by John S. Gwynne for EFI332 project. Implemented flash blank checking.

mc68332 BDM targed for GDB-5.1.1 patch 1
The archive contains BDM driver, which should be compatible with all 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4.0 kernels. Flash programming commands was added to GDB (bdm_flash_setup, bdm_flash_check, bdm_flash_erase, bdm_flash_remove). Command "bdm_load_use_lma" should be used before flash programming to ensure right target address for initialized data section. Important : when "csboot","cs?" or "auto" are used, flash must be probed by "bdm_flash_check" command before actual programming.
Glibc-2 binary is also available here.
Precompiled version of Insight-5.1 debugger is also available here.
Older versions were removed to free space and to protect people against bug caused by bad registers reads for targets without defined FPU registers in m68k-tdep.c m68k_push_dummy_frame and m68k_pop_frame. Bug manifested by crash of debugger when gdb call command was used.

mc68332 BDM targed for GDB-5.2.1 patch 1
Updated version of patches for GDB version 5.2.1. Binary of the debugger can be found here.

New version of the BDM driver (bdm-driver-030502.tar.gz)
This driver contains support for Linux PARPORT subsystems. The enhancement contributed by Juergen Eder

BDM driver with 2.5.69+ support (bdm-driver-030518.tar.gz)
Support for latest 2.5 kernels has been added. This version should be usable for Linux kernels from 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5,69+. The driver continues to support PARPORT and DEVFS. The PARPORT support can be disabled at compile time to return to old behavior.

New version of CPU32/CPU32+ BDM flash loader (bdm-load-030815.tar.gz)
Integrated Josef Wolf's (jw at raven.inka.de) feature to support symbolic startup address definition and other enhancements. Added support for early 68360 MBAR register setup from commandline and scripts files.

CPU32/CPU32+ BDM patches for GDB-5.3 (gdb-5.3-bdm-683xx-patches.tar.gz)
Published updated version of CPU32 BDM debug tool-chain. Support added for 2.6.x kernels. Driver file renamed to "m683xx-bdm.o" to better coexist with generic and more promising m68k BDM driver. Please, look at SourceForge pages http://sourceforge.net/projects/bdm for GIT repository of BDM development tools and Motorola m68xxx BDM discussion lists. Compressed binary of BDM enabled GDB-5.3 can be found there (m68k-coff-bdm-gdb-5.3.gz).

Update of m683xx BDM driver for latest 2.6.x Linux kernels (m683xx-bdm-driver-040618.tar.gz)
The name of builded module has been changed from bdm.o/.ko to m683xx-bdm.o/.ko to not collide with generic m68k BDM driver branch.

Chris Johns and Bernardo Innocenti have released new version of generic m68k BDM tools (m68k-bdm-1.3.0)
They seems to work correctly with m683xx targets as well.
BDM project at SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/bdm. The new GCC-3.4 based m68k-elf compiller can be found at uClinux pages http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/m68k-elf-tools/gcc-3/

Project with Motorola M9328 MX1 (ARM 920T)

mx1-boot-usb-050914.tar.gz - M9328 MX1 side of USB loader

mx1-load-050327.tar.gz - Serial and USB loader for M9328 MX1
This loader enables to transfer above mentioned mx1-boot-usb to the MX1 eSRAM memory over MX1 ROM provided serial protocol. The mx1-boot-usb then initializes UDC and MX1 board is enumerated by Linux host system. mx1-load can be used then to load application or Linux kernel image to the MX1 board SDRAM memory and start application or kernel. The latest version enables to build tag-image and setup arbitrary Linux kernel tags list.

Next commands are used to prepare flash tag-image of Linux kernel and flash it into PiMX1 board. Flash has to be erased beforehand.

rtems-mx1-mmcsd-051212.tar.gz - MX1 MMC/SD driver for RTEMS
This is massively modified and cleaned up FreeScale Linux 2.4 MMC/SD driver version ported and integrated to RTEMS system. Driver supports read/write of MMC and SD cards. The DOS FAT16/FAT32 filesystem can be created and mounted. The driver works in the CPU data driven mode only (no DMA yet) and only 1-bit mode is supported for now. The support and compatibility with MX21 has been considered during functions rewrite as well.
