Hello,
I'm building dropbear using the buildroot tool, for a SmartFusion2 Cortex-M3
with no MMU.
I find in the config file for dropbear on buildroot:
./buildroot/package/dropbear/dropbear.mk
ifeq ($(BR2_USE_MMU),y)
define DROPBEAR_INSTALL_INIT_SYSV
$(INSTALL) -D -m 755 package/dropbear/S50dropbear \
$(TARGET_DIR)/etc/init.d/S50dropbear
endef
else
define DROPBEAR_DISABLE_STANDALONE
echo '#define NON_INETD_MODE 0' >> $(@D)/localoptions.h
endef
DROPBEAR_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS += DROPBEAR_DISABLE_STANDALONE
endif
Which disables the standalone NON_INETD_MODE.
In searching through the history of the buildroot git repository, this change
seems to have been introduced in about 2013.
I've run across a number of other references since that timeframe that indicate
that dropbear can run on no-MMU platforms using uClibc.
Searching hasn't really led to a conclusive answer. So, could you please
confirm:
Can dropbear run as a listening service on Cortex-M3 with no-MMU?
Are there patches that can enable this?
Sorry if I'm asking a question that I should have been able to find an answer
to.
Thank You for your reply...
