Virtualbox RTEMS Setup

I got rtems to work with the lm3s6965.
1 major problem I was having seems like it has been addressed by the most
recent patch to rtems centos. I was getting error regarding libmpc.so.2, so
I had to use alternative methods to installing mpc rather than using the
method on the wiki page.
The other problem, was tha I coudn't get the patches to work with the
latest version of qemu (1.1). I had to use 1.0 instead.
For posterity, here is a pretty detailed list of instructions for setting
up rtems for lm3s6965
*Creating Virtual Machine:*
Download and install virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Go to Applications and open virtualbox
Download the .ova file (CentOS) here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtems-vms/files/Centos-6.2-RTEMS-4.11-20120223/
Go to file>import appliance and choose the .ova file that you just
downloaded
*Guest Additions (OPTIONAL)*
These steps will allow you to copy stuff from your host machine and paste
it to the guest virtual machine. It enables other features as well, but I
just wanted copy paste abilities.
Double click on the centos icon in the virtualbox manager to start the vm
When logging in login as root by clicking other and entering:
username: root
password: Virtual0
Go to device tab and click install guest additions
click ok/run on the windows that should appear.
If no windows appear, then open a terminal, go to the additions disk in
/media, and run:
sh VboxLinuxAdditions.sh
Restart the computer and login as root again.
You should now be able to copy stuff from the host and paste into the guest
*Installing Rtems*
While you're logged in as root (see above section if you're not sure how to
log in as root) open a terminal.
Run the following commands:
rpm -Uvh
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
yum install mpc
wget http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/SOURCES/4.11/gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjf gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
mkdir b-gmp
cd b-gmp
../gmp-4.3.2/configure && make && make install
yum -y upgrade
log out of root and login as rtems
username: rtems
password: rtems123
open a terminal and run the following:
. ~/rtems-4.11-work/setenv
cd $r
git pull
./bootstrap
Before you start working with rtems set your path using the command:
. ~/rtems-4.11-work/setenv
You know have the basic RTEMS up and running.
*Installing ARM toolchain:
*login as root and run the following commands in a terminal:
rpm -ivh

*Configure RTEMS for ARM/lm3s6965*
* *Open a terminal and run:
* *cd /home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work
* *export PATH=/opt/rtems-4.11/bin:$PATH
mkdir b-arm
cd b-arm
../rtems/configure --target=arm-rtemseabi4.11 --enable-rtemsbsp=lm3s6965
--enable-tests=samples --disable-posix
gmake all
*Installing Qemu:*
Go to this site: http://wiki.qemu.org/Download
and download qemu-1.0.1.tar.gz (Don't download 1.1. It won't work )
By default the qemu-1.0.1 will be installed in the tmp directory, so open a
terminal and do the following:
cd /tmp
tar -xzf qemu-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd qemu-1.0.1
Now, install the patches for the lm3s6965 with the following commands:
cat
/home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/lm3s69xx/0001-target-arm-Fixed-ARMv7-M-SHPR-access.patch
| patch -p1
cat
/home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/lm3s69xx/0002-target-arm-Disable-priority_mask-feature.patch
| patch -p1
cat
/home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/lm3s69xx/0003-target-arm-Evil-hack-for-BASEPRI-and-BASEPRI_MAX.patch
| patch -p1
cat
/home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work/rtems/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/lm3s69xx/0004-target-arm-Evil-hack-to-increase-the-RAM-size.patch
| patch -p1
Now make qemu with the following command.
./configure && make && make install
Congratulations, you should now be able to use the arm emulator and
lm3s6965 board.
To test the lm3s6965 run the following commands in a terminal:
/home/rtems/rtems-4.11-work/b-arm/arm-rtemseabi4.11/c/lm3s6965/testsuites/samples/hello
lm3s6965 -i hello.exe
NOTE: Don't worry if you receive a hardware error. This is just a problem
with rtems working with qemu. You just want to see:
*** HELLO WORLD TEST ***
Hello World
*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***
