[DONE] Win32-MinGW demo

[DeusExMachina]

I tried to work with windows simulator: first I used 2.6.1 version and had succesfully compiled ch.exe by mingw32 toolchain. But I can't see application output via putty, only blanc screen. Connection to both ports was sucessfull.
I tried to use 2.6.2 version, but demo compilation fails (unresolved msObjectInit in chprintf.c).
I inserted code after 75 line of makefile

Code: Select all

       ${CHIBIOS}/os/various/memstreams.c \

and was able to compile app. But the terminal issue remains. Also on closing putty ch.exe crashes.
How can I fix the problem?

[DeusExMachina]

gcc version is 4.8.1

[DeusExMachina]

It seems that connect events (SD1 or SD2) never take place. I used debugger, system waits infinitelly

Code: Select all

  /*
   * Events servicing loop.
   */
  while (!chThdShouldTerminate());
    chEvtDispatch(fhandlers, chEvtWaitOne(ALL_EVENTS));

I will verify it.

I fixed the makefiles but I cannot reproduce the other problem using my older MinGW, it is possible it is a stack overflow issue.

Giovanni, what MinGW version you use? May be it is my Windows-related issue

[Giovanni]

It is an old 3.2.4 or something like that.

I tried to compile the demo on another pc. Everything was OK, demo worked. I think it is my windows problem.

Also, what does this define mean?

Code: Select all

/**
 * @brief   Port-specific information string.
 */
#define CH_PORT_INFO                    "No preemption"

This port is cooperative-like OS?

[Giovanni]

Yes, the simulators are cooperative only, I've found no easy way to preempt a win32 process.
