OpenRISC 1000: uClinux
Introduction
The aim of this project is to port and maintain uClinux to the OpenRISC 1000 family and develop device drivers for various OpenCores peripherals. uClinux is a derivative of Linux kernel intended for microcontrollers without Memory Management Units (MMUs). Features are: - free, open source code with no royalty
- small code footprint suitable for embedded and portable applications
- common Linux API
- multitasking, preemptive scheduling
- high performance C libraries with small footprint
- TCP/IP networking and numerous other network protocols
- file systems NFS, ext2, MS-DOS, FAT16/32 and others
Status
If you would like to help with the development, please contact the developers.
Download
Source code of current development and stable tarball of the OpenRISC uClinux port is available from the OpenCores CVS under the module hierarchy or1k/uclinux. Source code of current development and stable tarball of the OpenRISC uClibc port is available from the OpenCores CVS under the module hierarchy or1k/uclibc. At this point no binaries for the OpenRISC are available due to hardware dependencies. However building the uClinux itself should be rather straightforward.
Documentation
More complex procedure is building the uClibc toolchain with gcc for uClinux applications. Such platform dependent instructions and instructions for image building can be found in the CVS under /or1k/uclinux/uClinux-2.0.x/README.or32. See uClinux and uClibc web sites for platform independent documentation.
Wish List (TODO List)
This is what we would like to develop/see developed but presently nobody is working on these projects. If you want to help, send an email to the mailing list.
If you have a suggestion for new Wish List entry, feel free to send it to the mailing list so that is added to the list and somebody may start working on it.
