Successfully built EPICS 7 with RTEMS 5 for mvme6100

[Mritunjay Sharma]

Hi everyone,

As a part of working on ticket #3835 (BSP Buildset for EPICS), this is to
inform the community that after a lot of research, help from RTEMS and
EPICS community and
https://epics.mpg.de/index.php?n=Software.EPICSRTEMS?userlang=en, I was
able to build EPICS 7 for RTEMS 5 for mvme6100 (powerpc-rtems5).
After this, my development environment is almost completely set up with
RTEMS, rtems-source-builder and epics7 (taken from
https://github.com/hjunkes/epicsBaseOwnPlayground/tree/7.0 ). While going
through the entire process, I learnt about the changes to be made in
epics7/configure/os/CONFIG_STATUS.Common.RTEMS and also encountered few
errors while the 'make' process, however, it got fixed by commenting line
325 to 329 in
'/home/mritunjay/development/rtems/5/powerpc-rtems5/beatnik/lib/include/rtems/confdefs/libio.h':
//  #ifdef CONFIGURE_FILESYSTEM_ENTRY_DEVFS
//    CONFIGURE_FILESYSTEM_ENTRY_DEVFS,
//  #endif
I would like to know more on why this behaviour occurred. Is it a bug? Or
something else?

I wanted to test it but I am facing issues in connecting with tftp server
when I run 'scp bin/RTEMS-beatnik/libComTestHarness.boot root at epics
:/var/lib/tftp'
The following error was encountered:
/usr/bin/ssh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version
information available (required by /usr/bin/ssh)
/usr/bin/ssh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version
information available (required by /usr/bin/ssh)
ssh: Could not resolve hostname epics: Name or service not known
lost connection
I was wondering what can be the reason behind this, please help me fix this.

Also, what are the next steps? I am working on the GSoC proposal currently
and since the current ticket #3835 is a shorter project, I have to add
certain similar sub-tasks within the GSoC timeline as suggested by @Gedare
Bloom <gedare at rtems.org> :
"* compile CFS by hand, create an RSB "recipe" to build it, then
integrate it with vertical buildset configuration.
* create vertical buildsets for PC, Raspberry Pi, and other boards.
** EPICS community uses many powerpc boards so adding something there
would be good."
I would like to have suggestions on resetting the timeline as I work on
refining the proposal for GSoC based on Dr. @Gedare Bloom <gedare at rtems.org>'s
suggestions.

Thanks
Mritunjay
