Toolchain source now on GitHub

[jeremybennett]

Hi all,

The latest tool chain code is now on GitHub. The main repository, with the script to build the toolchain is

git://github.com/parallella/epiphany-sdk.git

The README tells you how to build the toolchain. There are two further repositories, providing the GCC source and the Sourceware code (binutils, newlib, GNU debugger and CGEN architectural specification).

git://github.com/parallella/epiphany-gcc.git gcc
git://github.com/parallella/epiphany-sourceware.git src

There are issue trackers for reporting bugs, and Wiki's providing more detail for each repository. Over the coming months we'll be adding material. Feedback and bug reports are much appreciated.

Best wishes for the new year.

That us really cool news!

Am I correct that there is no emulator for epiphany hardware? So that if I have no prototype I can't use this toolchain?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You rule!

the toolchain does have the one core instruction level simulator

Hi fmotta,

You are correct, the toolchain includes a standard GNU CGEN based simulator. As I understand it, there are no plans to build a more detailed simulator or multi-core simulator. The focus is on producing real chips and boards.

However...

Since all the specs are open, anyone can develop their own simulator. So maybe someone in the community would like to build a multi-core simulator, or one that is more detailed. Or port Epiphany to QEMU. Actually those would make good undergraduate projects.

HTH,


Jeremy

Hi, It is my pleasure to be here... First of all, I am sorry for my poor English. Well, I like to give some feedback about the compiling the current?! ToolChain on different hosts:

- x86_64, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu 12.10 : OK.
- x86_32, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 : OK.
- x86_64, Darwin, OS X 10.8.2 : OK. (with a little fix : I will make a post about it)

So, these are my first steps. Go Epiphany Go(!) Regards, Gabor

Hi mrgs,

This is great to hear! Once you have posted about your fix I will integrate it into the build scripts and Wiki.

Thanks
