Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

[Jim Donelson]

Not familar with MIPS boards, but I highly recommend you get one with an
Ethernet port for development.
Just wondering, why does it need to be MIPS?

I wonder too why MIPS ?
IMO ARM is your best bet nowadays, ARM is more and more breaking through
even into 8 bit apps where
eg. deeply embedded Cortex now runs. Just about any consumer device today
has ARM in it.
I reckon that soon ARM experience will be a must for engineers.

If you want ARM, Olimex is a great choice and great value. I use a
SAM9-L9260 board. I've been very happy with it.
It costs little and has everything to start with (uC)linux.
USB host and device port, Ethernet, MMC/SD/SDIO slot, serial RS232 64 MB
RAM, 512 MB Flash 200 MHz ARM926
with MMU, DataFlash for boot etc. etc.
It's 99% compatible with Atmel's AT91SAM9260EK, but costs1/3 the price.
($169 EUR IIRC)

Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

[tom gogh]

Jim, Kris,
Thanks for your inputs!

I was working on uClinux a couple of years back and now I am in different
company on different OS.
So, now I want to do hobby project and as far as I see, uClinux 
distribution doesn't come with MIPS port by default. Those who did it is 
not easily available or has to be searched on internet.
As a hobby project, it's good to start with unknown to learn more.
ARM is definitely something I do love, but all is ready made for ARM in 
uclinux. I am in networking field and still ARM is not seen so heavily used
compare to MIPS and PPC.
After a bit of search, I also found mips.com offers some development boards
Malta but might be costly, still I mailed them asking for pricing.
Anyone using those boards?

Regards,
Anand

If you realy need a MIPS arch, the Fonera is realy cheap (30$) and has
serial, ethernet and JTAG available.

You might also consider an original Sony Playstation, as it is available
cheap, has "good" I/O capability (video/game controllers/sound), and has a
low-speed, non-MMU MIPS processor, not to mention various emulators that
would ease debugging.

blackfin is not that cheap, but they have super (free) support.
You should also consider level of support.

Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

[tom gogh]

I searched for Fonera router and it's not available in my country (India)
as per the fonera website. I will check about Sony Playstation if old ones are 
available around my place.
I will prefer with mmu so I can even use other distributions like
RTLinux.

This is a most excellent choice! No porting work required!
The tomato client is friendly for ssh/telnet and allows installing ipkgs
very easily.

Thanks for the reminder!

That's what I was going to suggest - it's the platform we first used when 
porting the Mika VM to MIPS, and it must be the cheapest development system we 
bought so far. Take a look at the list of hardware at 
 and 
. (Not all the platforms listed are 
MIPS but many are). For some platforms you have to be very careful which model 
you buy, because apparently similar models may not have enough memory to run 
(even) uClinux.

My own experience of networking is different to yours: I see a lot of MIPS and 
quite a bit of SH4 and Coldfire,  ARM is really not dominant in this area.

Best regards

Chris

I just ordered a FON, to use with dd-wrt.
I use them in client mode to hook up stuff around the house.
I have use Linksys and Buffalo, but for 30.00 this is great!
Any one know what tool chain is the best for this MIPS?

Last I heard, most video set top boxes / PVRs have MIPs inside.
MIPS seems to be popular in home routers routers too.

Hi,

I don't know about Video set top box, but just about any other device is
ARM. This includes PMP, gaming consoles,and the massive Cellular market. In
the cellular market TI also has that prettty much cornered. About 9 out of
10 mobiles have custom TI DSP silicon integrated into it one way or
another.
Maybe I should have elucidated - just about any *portable* consumer device
?

Best regards,
Kris

Darn, I should stay out of this kind of discussion but:
What gaming console uses ARM? The only one I know of is the Zeebo.

Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

[Jim Donelson]

xbox, ps3 and wii all use versions of Power PC.
However many portable devices do use ARM.

Iphone uses a Samsung arm.
most likely Motorola phones use freescale arm processors.
G1 uses a qualcomm processor.
Panasonic has it's own arm.
Most low end routers use Broadcom chips.
High end routers use Freescale PowerQUICC and the like.

Do you work for TI?

Hi Chris,

Gameboy/Gameboy Advance (ARM7), Nintendo DS/ DS Lite (ARM7 + ARM9) to name
a few..
(I _did_ elucidate *portable* devices )

Re: [uClinux-dev] starter kit or development board

[microbit]

Hi,

Nope, I don't work for TI :-)
I did consult as third party vendor RF/MSP430 for TI DRAD (Digital Radio)
division in Dallas, TX and MSP430 HQ, Freising, Germany for several years.
(I'm in Melbourne, Australia however)
Actually, I'm still listed as endorsed 3rd party but I'm not much active
anymore, looking at becoming an employee again...
I got to (p)review internal specs of RF alpha & beta silicon quite a bit
and got some insider info along the way.
I can assure you that a lot of cellular chipsets do use custom TI DSP
silicon "under the bonnet"...

Perhaps I did mis-phrase initially.
Sorry for the brief tangent !
