Misoc README
============

  This README applies to a port to NuttX running on a Qemu LM32 system.  You
  can find the Qemu setup at https://bitbucket.org/key2/qemu

  This initial release supports two UARTs, but does not have a system timer
  or other peripherals.  More to come.

Buildroot Toolchain
===================

  A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed.  The files */setenv.sh should
  be modified to point to the correct path to the LM32 GCC toolchain (if
  different from the default in your PATH variable).

  If you have no LM32 toolchain, one can be cloned from the NuttX
  Bitbucket GIT repository (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot).
  This GNU toolchain builds and executes in the Linux or Cygwin environment.

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>/nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh misoc/<sub-dir>
     make oldconfig context

  2. Clone the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>/buildroot

       git clone git@bitbucket.org:nuttx/buildroot.git <some-dir>/buildroot

     or

       git clone https://patacongo@bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot.git <some-dir>/buildroot

  3. cd <some-dir>/buildroot

  4. cp lm32-elf-defconfig-6.1.0 .config

  5. make oldconfig

  6. make

  7. By default, the tools will be at the absolute path:

       <some-dir>/buildroot/build_lm32/staging_dir/bin

     Or the NuttX relative path:

       ../buildroot/build_lm32/staging_dir/bin

     The setenv.sh files in these sub-directories are already set to use
     the relative path.  It you choose to install the buildroot package
     in some other location, you may need to edit the setenv.h file so
     that the PATH variable includes the path to the newly built binaries.

  See the file configs/README.txt in the buildroot source tree.  That has more
  detailed PLUS some special instructions that you will need to follow if you
  are building a LM32 toolchain for Cygwin under Windows.  Also included in
  that README file is a FAQ of frequent build issues that their work-arounds.

  In order to use the buildroot toolchain, you also must set the following
  in your .config file:

    CONFIG_LM3S_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT=y

configs/misoc/include/generated
===============================

  In order to build this configuration, you must provide this directory.
  It contains the generated Misoc files.  The base configurtion will NOT
  build without this directory!
