Infinite loop on _Heap_Allocate

Hi Jiri,

Thanks for your quick reply. Indeed, I did not know that patches had to be applied to qemu, I thought it was only to the toolset.

I have downloaded the three patches and tried to directly apply them to qemu-2.9.0 without success. The patches are intended for which version of qemu?

In the end, I managed to apply them by modifying them a bit (only very minor modifications), but it does not compile. Note that qemu-2.9.0 compiles without any problem without the patches.

I will not include the whole compilation output because it is huge and it would not be useful. I will include only the first few lines of the compilation errors:

Currently I am trying to understand the reason for this behavior.

Thanks.

Have you applied leon3 patches for qemu from https://gaisler.org/qemu ?

These are needed to boot RTEMS binaries properly.

Jiri.

Hello all !

I've just installed rtems-4.8 on a Redhat 7 64 bits machine. I've installed the release version of rtems 4.8 and the following versions of the toolset:

-          gcc 4.2.1 with newlib 1.15.0

-          binutils 2.18

-          gdb 6.8

The compilation and installation of the toolset and rtems run without problem except for the documentation part which I disabled.

Then I installed the rtems-4.8 examples and tried to run hello_world_c on qemu leon3 with the command "qemu-system-sparc -nographic -M leon3_generic -cpu LEON3 -kernel hello.exe -s -S".

Neither error nor warning was present in the compilation or the execution process (nor the hello world message) and when I stop the execution it is always on the _Heap_Allocate function of cpukit/score/src/heapallocate.c file. Here is the backtrace:

(gdb) c

It seems to be blocked on an infinite loop. I presume there has been a problem with the installation of rtems that I have not seen since this is a well proven version and it is the most basic example.

Would you have an idea of what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Patricia Lopez Cueva
