DS1104 Target environment

Toolchain

Install GNU binutils and GNU gcc compiled for powerpc-none-eabi.

Standard C library

The newlib C library should be used. Otherwise some changes to ds1104lib might be needed.

Compilation

$ tar xfvz newlib-2.1.0.tar.gz
$ cd newlib-2.1.0
$ export CFLAGS="-mcpu=603e -fomit-frame-pointer -O2"
$ ./configure --host=powerpc-none-eabi
$ make


ds1104lib

The ds1104lib is a library that implements basic support for dSPACE DS1104 boards. Together with a newlib standard library it can be used to provide an full simple programming environment for dSPACE DS1104 boards. The ds1104lib can be consireded also as an alternative for RTLib - a proprietary library provided by dSPACE GmbH.

The ds1104lib was written using specs of basic components available on the DS1104 board and some reverse engeenired information using a cleanroom approach.

Some features are not avaiable yet.
