(原創) 如何在DE2上安裝μClinux作業系統? (IC Design) (DE2) (Nios II) (OS) (Linux) (CentOS) (μClinux)
Abstract
若要在DE2上使用作業系統,除了Nios II EDS內建支援的μC/OS-II外,μClinux也能在DE2上跑。
Introduction
使用環境:Quartus II 7.2 SP1 + Nios II EDS 7.2 SP1 + DE2(Cyclone II EP2C35F627C6) + VMWare 6.0.2 + CentOS 5.1
既然Nios II EDS已經支援μC/OS-II,為什麼還要另外跑μClinux呢?
μC/OS-II
優點:所占的資源很少,只要FPGA上的on-chip memory就可以跑。
缺點:將原本在Linux上的open source軟體porting到μC/OS-II難度較高。
μClinux
優點:使用Linux kernel,所以將Linux上open source軟體porting到μClinux較容易。
缺點:所占的資源較多,須要使用到SDRAM。
所以μC/OS-II和μClinux各擅勝場,開發人員可視實際需要選擇使用哪一個OS。
DE2安裝μClinux的幾個方法
1.兩台PC,一台使用Windows作業系統,另一台使用Linux作業系統:
Windows上安裝Quartus II與SOPC Builder產生硬體.sof與.ptf,而在Linux進行μClinux的cross compiler,兩台PC透過ftp或Samba傳檔。
2.一台PC,使用Linux作業系統:
安裝Linux版的Quartus II與SOPC Builder產生硬體.sof與.ptf,也在Linux上進行μClinux的cross compiler,軟硬體皆在Linux上完成。
3.一台PC,使用Windows作業系統:
安裝Windows版的Quartus II與SOPC Builder產生硬體.sof與.ptf,並安裝cygwin進行μClinux的cross compiler,軟硬體皆在Windows上完成。
4.一台PC,使用Windows作業系統,並在VMWare安裝Linux作業系統:
安裝Windows版的Quartus II與SOPC Builder產生硬體.sof與.ptf,並在VMWare上安裝Linux進行μClinux的cross compiler,Windows與Linux之間透過VMWare Tools傳檔,請參閱(原創) 如何在CentOS安裝VMWare Tools? (OS) (Linux) (CentOS) (VMWare)。
第一種方式,需要兩台PC,當然是最麻煩的方式。若只有一台PC,而且你只用Linux,就用第二種方式,若你只有一台PC,且使用Windows,第三種方式與第四種方式皆可行,看你習慣哪一種。本文討論的是第四種方式配合VMWare。
DE2的硬體設計
你可以自行用Verilog設計硬體並搭配SOPC Builder產生Nios II,最後用Quartus II編譯產生.sof與.ptf,這方面我在之前的文章已經討論了很多,都在IC Design分類下,請自行參閱。為了簡化起見,我使用友晶科技CD所提供的Reference Design。Nios II的Reference Design放在DE2 CD中的\DE2_demonstrations\SOPC_Builder\Reference_Design\下,(或從http://www.terasic.com/downloads/cd-rom/de2/ 下載),若你想自己從頭到尾自己由SOPC Builder建立,請參閱(原創) 如何自己用SOPC Builder建立一個能在DE2上跑μC/OS-II的Nios II系統? (IC Design) (DE2) (Quartus II) (Nios II) (SOPC Builder) (μC/OS-II)。
友晶提供的Reference Design是Quartus II 6.0與7.1的版本,若你使用7.2或更高的版本,建議你用SOPC Builder開啟後,更新SOPC Builder格式並重新generate system_0.ptf,然後用Quartus II重新compile DE2_NIOS.sof,這兩個檔等一下會用到。
在Linux上安裝Nios II gcc cross compiler
等一下我們會下載μClinux的source code,重新編譯成能在Nios II跑的版本,在此之前必須先安裝Nios II gcc cross compiler。
Step 1:
下載nios2gcc.tar.bz2或Altera原廠的nios2gcc-20080203.tar.bz2至/usr/local/src
Step 2:
將nios2gcc.tar.bz2解壓縮到/opt/nios2
Step 3:
設定cross compiler路徑
修改bash_profile的內容如下所示,加上/opt/nios2/bin路徑
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/nios2/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
Step 4:
重新執行bash_profile script,讓所設定的路徑馬上生效,不必再重新登出登入
Step 5:
測試Nios II gcc cross compiler是否安裝成功
若出現以下結果,表示Nios II gcc cross compiler已經設定成功
Configured with: /root/buildroot/toolchain_build_nios2/gcc-3.4.6/configure --prefix=/opt/nios2 --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --target=nios2-linux-uclibc --enable-languages=c --enable-shared --disable-__cxa_atexit --enable-target-optspace --with-gnu-ld --disable-nls --enable-threads --disable-multilib --enable-cxx-flags=-static
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6
編譯μClinux核心
Step 1:
到Embedded Linux/Microcontroller Project下載μClinux到/usr/local/src,本文用的是uClinux-dist-20070130.tar.gz。
Step 2:
將uClinux-dist-20070130.tar.gz解壓縮
uClinux-dist-20070130.tar.gz解開後占1.9GB,若解壓縮過程有錯誤,大部分原因都是硬碟滿了,請注意你VMWare所設定的硬碟大小。
Step 3:
下載μClinux kernel patch for Nios II:uClinux-dist-20070130-nios2-02.7z到/usr/local/src/uClinux-dist。
Step 4:
安裝μClinux kernel patch for Nios II
若出現以下結果,表示patch成功

Step 5:
建立make file
在Vendor/Product Selection如下設定
在Kernel/Library/Defaults Selection如下設定
最後選<Yes>存檔
Step 6:
將SOPC Builder設定檔system_0.ptf複製到/usr/local/src
Step 7:
根據DE2硬體配置設定make file
最後會有選擇動作,分別選擇 1 (CPU_0),1 (cfi_flash_0),2 (sdram)。
(1) cpu_0 - Class: altera_nios2 Type: f Version: 7.071
Selection: 1
--- Please select a device to upload the kernel to:
(1) cfi_flash_0
Class: altera_avalon_cfi_flash
Size: 4194304 bytes
Selection: 1
--- Please select a device to execute kernel from:
(1) sram_0
Class: sram_16bit_512k

(2) sdram_0
Class: altera_avalon_new_sdram_controller
Size: 8388608 bytes
(3) epcs_controller
Class: altera_avalon_epcs_flash_controller
Size: 2048 bytes
Selection: 2
最後成功的結果如下所示
PTF: /usr/local/src/system_0.ptf
CPU: cpu_0
Device to upload to: cfi_flash_0
Program memory to execute from: sdram_0

Step 8:
建立romfs資料夾,過程會有錯誤訊息,可忽略。
Step 9:
編譯μClinux核心
Step 10:
產生image
最後會在/usr/local/src/uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2nommu/boot/下找到zImage
Step 11:
將zImage複製到Windows的C:\altera\72\nios2eds\examples\下
將軟硬體燒入到DE2
Step 1:
將DE2_NIOS2.sof複製到C:\altera\72\nios2eds\examples\下
Step 2:
啟動Nios II Command Shell
開始 -> 程式集 -> Altera -> Nios II EDS 7.2 -> Nios II 7.2 Command Shell
Step 3:
將硬體燒入到DE2

若看到這個畫面,表示μClinux已經順利執行在DE2上。
Conclusion
當我最後看到μClinux的logo出現時,真的是既讚嘆又感恩,讚嘆的是Linux就這樣跑在嵌入式系統了,感恩的是前人的porting讓我們能在DE2順利的跑μClinux。這真是一次奇妙的軟硬體合作經驗,從FPGA到OS,又從Linux回到Windows,不得不讚嘆嵌入式系統的神奇。
