dlopen causes the program to crash
Hi
I am running timesys linux 2.4.7-timesys-3.1.180 on
my 8260 board. I have written a small program that
invokes dlopen and tries to access the shared library.
The program is linked with libdl-2.1.3.so.
The program is shown below:
#include dlfcn.h
#include stdio.h
main()
{
void *handle;
printf (Before dlopen\n);
handle = dlopen (/lib/libpthread.so.0,
RTLD_NOW);
printf (dlopen done\n);
dlclose(handle);
}
When I run on the target I get Illegal instruction
at dlopen even though libpthread.so.0 is present in
/lib directory.
Any idea why the dlopen causes the program to crash?

Disabling data cache
Hi We have a custom made board and we are running 8250 processor. We are using DMA to transmit and receive data between peripheral and memory. The data is getting corrupted while transmitting and receiving. We are suspecting it might be due to data cache being enabled. So I disabled data cache in the routine enable_cache in the file arch/ppc/kernel/head.S. I rebuilt the kernel and when I run on my board it hangs after printing Now booting the kernel. I would like to know why the kernel is not booting up. I have enclosed the console output: Transfering control to linux (at address 00400040) loaded at : 00400040 0040b340 relocated to : 0040 0040b300 board data at: 007FFE40 007FFEF8 relocated to: 0040B148 0040B200 image at: 0040B340 004B6026 avail ram:004B7000 0400 Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/mtdblock/1 Uncompressing linux Now booting the kernel Also I would like to understand what is the use of ESE bit in SIUMCR. Should this bit be always enabled whenever data cache is enabled. Any help is appreciated. Yahoo!

bash 2.05 not running on MPC8250 processor
Hi We are having two custom boards. On one board we are using 8260 processor. On this board I am able to run the timesys kernel. I am able to run all the applications on this board. On the second board we are having 8250 processor. On this board the kernel boots up and the init process tries to run bash but, bash crashes. I am getting a floating point exception. I downloaded the bash code and I compiled and linked statically and made sure that there are no floating point instructions. Even the new compiled doesnt run on the 8250 board. Is anyone successfully able to run bash on the 8250 board?. Thanks in advance. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
BD allocation and IDMA driver question
Hi I would like to know what is the difference between m8260_cpm_hostalloc and m8260_dp_alloc. The FCC driver uses the former API and the serial driver uses the latter API. When I try to use m8260_cpm_hostalloc to allocate buffer descriptor for the SPI driver the timesys 2.4 kernel hangs. When I use m8260_dp_alloc the SPI driver works. Has anybody developed a IDMA driver for 8260 for 2.4 kernel? Thanks in advance. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
