LFS - Creating a partition


These steps are quite straight forward no errors were encountered. Follow the procedure described in
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/chapter02.html

CREATING A PARTITION

I used Gparted tool to create the partition. The tool is quite straight forward to use. You can download it from the package manager. here is the tutorial - http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html

Created a partition using the steps described here
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/creatingpartition.html

Created a partition - 50 GB /dev/sda1 (primary partition)
                        3 GB /dev/sda4 (primary partition for swap)
(note : in my system I have linux (Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala) installed in logical partition sda5 and swap is in logical parition sda6. primary partition sda2 is extended to create logical partitions.)

MOUTING THE NEW PARTITION

mkdir /mnt/lfs
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/lfs
export $LFS = /mnt/lfs


CREATING DIRECTORIES
FILE HEIRARCHY STANDARDS : http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
going to root mode in ubuntu - sudo -i
inside /mnt/lfs
create dirctories bin boot dev dev/pts etc home lib mnt proc root sbin tmp var

Create two more folders /usr and /usr/local
inside /usr create bin etc include lib sbin share src tmp var
inside share create following folders dict, doc, info, locale, man, nls, misc, terminfo, zoneinfo
inside share/man, create folders man1 man2 man3 man4 man5 man6 man7 man8
inside the /usr folder create symbolic links to the share/man, share/doc and share/info

inside /usr/local
inside share create following folders dict, doc, info, locale, man, nls, misc, terminfo, zoneinfo
inside share/man, create folders man1 man2 man3 man4 man5 man6 man7 man8
inside the /usr folder create symbolic links to the share/man, share/doc and share/info
(basically repeat the same steps).

Generating 16k ROM using Xilinx IP COREGEN and simulating it in modelsim

The instruction ROM is an IP Core. so before interfacing with the open8, it has to be generated. The method of generating and simulating a ROM Xilinx IP Core is described here. FIND ALL THE FILES HERE 1. app.coe (the initialization file) 2. rom_16k_core.vhd 3. rom_16k_core.vho 4. rom_16k_core.xco 5. top_level.vhd 6. do_memgen.do Creation of the ROM Xilinx 10.1 1. open ISE 2. create a new project 3. tools -> core generator(12.1) (or right click on the device and add a new file 10.1) 4. In the IP catalog -> Memory and storage elements -> RAM and ROM 5. double click on block memory generator, A new window opens 6. In the new window select single port ROM click next, Write first mode 7. Select Read Width = 8 and Read Depth = 16384 for 16K ROM -> next 8. The output ports are unregistered, load initialization COE if required -> next 9. No need to use the Reset pin -> next 10. Generate. (takes a little time then shows successfully generated) This

Setting up atalanta ATPG to work on Linux

Atalanta is an ATPG tool that is used to generate test patterns for combinational circuits. atalanta is a windows executable file. I am using Atalanta ATPG tool to generate the test patterns required for generating the Transition fault Test patterns RUNNING ATALANTA (LINUX) You need to have WINE installed to run windows executable binary. Created a symbolic link in the usr/bin to the atalanta.exe, name of the link s atalanta. (not necessary if you do not have root privilages) chmod u+x /place/atalanta/atalanta.exe cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s /place/atalanta/atalanta.exe ./atalanta COMMAND TO RUN ATALANTA atalanta [option] filename //put this in a shell script
