Installing and Building the Unit Tests
|
||
|
|
======================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Setup NuttX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a) Configure NuttX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure NuttX to run one of the target configurations. For example,
|
||
|
|
let's assume that you are using the sim/nsh2 configuration. The sim/nsh2
|
||
|
|
configuration was specially created for use NXWidgets on the simulation
|
||
|
|
platform. A similar, special configuration stm3210e-eval/nsh2 is also
|
||
|
|
for the STM3210E-EVAL available. However, the unit test can be run on
|
||
|
|
other configurations (see steps d and e below).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will assume the sim/nsh2 configuration in this discussion. The
|
||
|
|
sim/nsh2 configuration is installed as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <nuttx-directory-path>
|
||
|
|
make distclean
|
||
|
|
cd tools
|
||
|
|
./configure.sh sim/nsh2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<nuttx-directory-path> is the full, absolute path to the NuttX build directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using the sim/nsh2 or stm3210e-eval configurations, then skip
|
||
|
|
to step 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There may be certain requirements for the configuration that you select...
|
||
|
|
for example, certain widget tests may require touchscreen support or special
|
||
|
|
font selections. These test-specific requirements are addressed below under
|
||
|
|
"Unit Test Directories"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b) Enable C++ Support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are not using the sim/nsh2 or stm3210e-eval, you will need to add
|
||
|
|
the following definitions to the nuttx configuration at nuttx/.config to
|
||
|
|
enable C++ support:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check first, some configurations already have C++ support enabled (As of this
|
||
|
|
writing *ONLY* the sim/nsh2 and stm321-e-eval configurations have C++ support
|
||
|
|
pre-enabled).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
c) Enable Debug Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running on a simulated target, then you might also want to
|
||
|
|
enable debug symbols:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then you can run the simulation using GDB or DDD which is a very powerful
|
||
|
|
debugging environment!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
d) Other nuttx/.config changes -- NSH configurations only.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the configuration that you are using supports NSH and NSH built-in tasks
|
||
|
|
then all is well. If it is an NSH configuration, then you will have to define
|
||
|
|
the following in your nuttx/.config file as well (if it is not already defined):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sim/nsh2 and stm3210e-eval/nsh2 already has this setting. You do not need
|
||
|
|
to change anything further in the nuttx/.config file if you are using either
|
||
|
|
of these configurations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e) Other apps/.config changes -- NON-NSH configurations only.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For non-NSH configurations (such as the sim/touchscreen) you will have to
|
||
|
|
remove the CONFIGURED_APPS seting that contains the user_start function so
|
||
|
|
that you use the user_start in the unit test code instead. So, for example,
|
||
|
|
with the sim/touchscreen configuration you need to remove the following from
|
||
|
|
the apps/.config file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIGURED_APPS += examples/<example> ## REMOVE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following step will then install the new, correct directory containing
|
||
|
|
the user_start function for the selected unit test. If you see that NSH
|
||
|
|
is configured:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIGURED_APPS += examples/nsh ## DO NOT REMOVE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then DO NOT REMOVE the CONFIGURED_APPS setting. Go back and re-read c)
|
||
|
|
above. Do either c) or d). Don't do both!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sim/nsh2 and stm3210e-eval/nsh2 both NSH configurations. You do not need
|
||
|
|
to change anything further in the apps/.config file for any NSH configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Configure/Install the Selected Unit Test
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then reconfigure that to use the Unit Test of your choice:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <raztek-nxwidgets-directory>/trunk/UnitTests/tools
|
||
|
|
./install.sh <apps-directory-path> <test-sub-directory>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<apps-directory-path> is the full, absolute path to the NuttX apps/ directory
|
||
|
|
<test-sub-directory> is the name of a sub-directory in the UnitTests directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Instantiate the Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before we can make the NXWidgets Library, we have to instantiate the NuttX
|
||
|
|
configuration with the installed unit test:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <nuttx-directory-path>
|
||
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
||
|
|
make context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will create auto-generated files and will setup symbolic links needed
|
||
|
|
in order to build the NXWidgets Library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Adjust the Stack Size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If using an simulation configuration (like sim/nsh2) and your unit test
|
||
|
|
uses X11 as its display device, then you would have to increase the size
|
||
|
|
of unit test stack as described below under "Stack Size Issues with the
|
||
|
|
X11 Simulation."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Build the NXWidgets Library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <raztek-nxwidgets-directory>/trunk/NXWidgets/libnxwidgets
|
||
|
|
make TOPDIR=<nuttx-directory-path>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Build NuttX including the unit test and the NXWidget library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <nuttx-directory-path>
|
||
|
|
. ./setenv.sh
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Work-Arounds
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build Issues
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
1. I have seen this error on Cygwin building C++ code:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LD: nuttx.rel
|
||
|
|
ld: skipping incompatible /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/nuttx/libxx//liblibxx.a when searching for -llibxx
|
||
|
|
ld: cannot find -llibxx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem seems to be caused because gcc build code for 32-bit mode and g++ builds code for 64-bit mode. Add the -m32 option to the g++ command line seems to fix the problem. In Make.defs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CXXFLAGS = -m32 $(ARCHWARNINGSXX) $(ARCHOPTIMIZATION) \
|
||
|
|
$(ARCHCPUFLAGSXX) $(ARCHINCLUDESXX) $(ARCHDEFINES) $(EXTRADEFINES) -pipe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Stack Size Issues with the X11 Simulation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you run the NuttX simulation, it uses stacks allocated by NuttX from the
|
||
|
|
NuttX heap. The memory management model is exactly the same in the simulation
|
||
|
|
as it is real, target system. This is good because this produces a higher
|
||
|
|
fidelity simulation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, when the simulation calls into Linux/Cygwin libraries, it will still
|
||
|
|
use these small simulation stacks. This happens, for example, when you call
|
||
|
|
into the system to get and put characters to the console window or when you
|
||
|
|
make x11 calls into the system. The programming model within those libraries
|
||
|
|
will assume a Linux/Cygwin environment where the stack size grows dynamically
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a consequence, those system libraries may allocate large data structures
|
||
|
|
on the stack and overflow the small NuttX stacks. X11, in particular,
|
||
|
|
requires large stacks. If you are using X11 in the simulation, make sure
|
||
|
|
that you set aside a "lot" of stack for the X11 system calls (maybe 8 or 16Kb).
|
||
|
|
The stack size for the thread that begins with user start is controlled
|
||
|
|
by the configuration setting CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE; you may need to
|
||
|
|
increase this value to larger number to survive the X11 system calls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running X11 applications as NSH add-on programs, then the stack
|
||
|
|
size of the add-on program is controlled in another way. Here are the
|
||
|
|
steps for increasing the stack size in that case:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd ../apps/namedapps # Go to the namedapps directory
|
||
|
|
vi namedapps_list.h # Edit this file and increase the stack size of the add-on
|
||
|
|
rm .built *.o # This will force the namedapps logic to rebuild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Theory Of Operation
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The NuttX application Makefile at apps/Makefile has some special hooks for
|
||
|
|
building "external" applications. In particular, it will automatically
|
||
|
|
build in the contents any directory call "external/" that may appear in the
|
||
|
|
apps/ directory. There is no external/ directory in the repository. Rather,
|
||
|
|
this directory may be provided by the user (possibly as a symbolic link) to
|
||
|
|
add libraries and applications to the standard build from the repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script at tools/install.sh, then, just does a lot of careful validation and
|
||
|
|
sanity checking. Then it installs the UnitTest test sub-directory in the apps/
|
||
|
|
directory by creating a symbolic link in the apps/ directory call "external".
|
||
|
|
That symbolic link will refer to the selected UnitTest sub-directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UnitTests

|
||
|

Example
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Configure sim/nsh2
|
||
|
|
Where: nuttx and nuttx/tools directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd tools/
|
||
|
|
$ ./configure.sh sim/nsh2
|
||
|
|
$ cd -
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Edit nuttx/.config to enable C++ support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do nothing... sim/nsh2 already has C++ support enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Install the CButton C++ application (for example)
|
||
|
|
Where: NXWidgets/trunk/UnitTests/tool
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ./install.sh ~/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/apps/ CButton
|
||
|
|
/home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/apps//external already exists...
|
||
|
|
Removing the old symbolic link.
|
||
|
|
Creating symbolic link
|
||
|
|
- To /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/gui/raztek-nxwidgets/trunk/UnitTests/tools/../CButton
|
||
|
|
- At /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/apps//external
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Instantiate the Configuration
|
||
|
|
Where: nuttx directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/nuttx
|
||
|
|
$ . ./setenv.sh
|
||
|
|
$ make context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will create auto-generated files and will setup symbolic links needed
|
||
|
|
in order to build the NXWidgets Library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Adjust the Stack Size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If using an simulation configuration (like sim/nsh2) and your unit test
|
||
|
|
uses X11 as its display device, then you would have to increase the size
|
||
|
|
of unit test stack as described above under "Stack Size Issues."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. Build the NXWdigets Library
|
||
|
|
Where XWidgets/trunk/NXWidgets/libnxwidgets
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/gui/raztek-nxwidgets/trunkXWidgets/libnxwidgets
|
||
|
|
$ make TOPDIR=/home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/nuttx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. Build NuttX
|
||
|
|
Where: nuttx directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd /home/patacongo/projects/nuttx/nuttx/trunk/nuttx
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. Run the "bringup" task:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a. Start NuttX
|
||
|
|
Where: nuttx directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./nuttx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.9
|
||
|
|
nsh>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b. Execute NuttX
|
||
|
|
Where: NSH command prompt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE that when you run NSH as a simulation, the commands are echoed
|
||
|
|
twice -- once by Linux/Cygwin and once by NuttX:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nsh> help
|
||
|
|
help
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
Builtin Apps:
|
||
|
|
nx
|
||
|
|
nxhello
|
||
|
|
tc
|
||
|
|
bringup
|
||
|
|
nsh> bringup
|
||
|
|
bringup
|
||
|
|
bringup [2:128]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
c. Then do a kludgy thing
|
||
|
|
Where: NSH command prompt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The I/O with the Linux/Cygwin simulation is blocking. So while NSH is
|
||
|
|
waiting for input nothing can run (see configs/sim/README.txt for more info).
|
||
|
|
One way to make NSH stop asking for input is to sleep.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nsh> sleep 10
|
||
|
|
sleep 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE 1: This is not a problem if CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID is defined in the
|
||
|
|
configuration file. If CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID is defined, NSH will wait
|
||
|
|
for the unit test to complete and it will not be necessary to sleep.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE 2: CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID is defined in the sim/nsh2 configuration
|
||
|
|
so you can probably ignore this kludgy thing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
d. The Unit Test runs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As soon as NSH sleeps, the unit test will run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bringup_main: Saying hello from the dynamically constructed instance
|
||
|
|
CHelloWorld::HelloWorld: Hello, World!!
|
||
|
|
bringup_main: Saying hello from the instance constructed on the stack
|
||
|
|
CHelloWorld::HelloWorld: Hello, World!!
|
||
|
|
bringup_main: Saying hello from the statically constructed instance
|
||
|
|
CHelloWorld::HelloWorld: Hello, World!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. Debugging
|
||
|
|
Where: nuttx directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the simulation (only) you can use GDB or, better, the graphic
|
||
|
|
front-end DDD to debug the code. Most embedded targets do not
|
||
|
|
have good debugging capabilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to debug, you have to have build with CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=y.
|
||
|
|
This setting is preselected in the sim/nsh2 configuration so that
|
||
|
|
you don't have to do anything.
