This is to prevent a compile error caused by function prototype conflict between a function called `select()` (present in a number of sensortag peripheral drivers) and the one in `sys/select.h`. The error manifests itself with gcc-arm-embedded version 5.2.1 20151202 (2015-q4).
To fix the error we simply rename our function.
Fixes#1434
This patch adds support for optionally building EFI binaries in
addition to Multiboot ELF binaries. It includes a script,
build_uefi.sh, that downloads tool and library sources from the EDK II
project, builds the GenFw tool that is used to create UEFI binaries,
and creates a makefile that is included from the main x86 common
makefile and enables UEFI support in the Contiki build system. If the
script is not run prior to building Contiki, then an informational
message will be displayed with instructions for running build_uefi.sh
if UEFI support is desired. This patch also adds the path to the
auto-generated makefile to .gitignore.
This patch modifies the linker script for the Intel Quark X1000 to
account for the output file section offsets and alignment expectations
of the EDK II GenFw project.
This patch also adds a newlib patch to remove the weak symbol
attribute from floating point stdio support routines. See
<newlib>/newlib/README for an explanation of how the newlib developers
intended for _printf_float and _scanf_float to be linked. Newlib
declares them as weak symbols with the intention that developers would
force them to be linked only when needed using a linker command line
option. However, some but not all Contiki programs require them, so
we cannot simply always include or exclude them. Instead, we remove
the weak symbol attributes and rely on the linker to automatically
determine whether or not they should be linked. This avoids an issue
in which weak symbols were undefined in the intermediate DLL generated
as part of the UEFI build process. That resulted in the GenFw program
emitting "ERROR 3000" messages when it encountered relocations
referencing such an undefined symbol.
Finally, this patch updates README.md to both make some revisions to
account for the UART support introduced in previous patches as well as
to provide instructions for using the UEFI support.
This patch modifies the newlib and Contiki C and C++ compiler flags to
omit exception handling unwind tables (see
http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Exception_Handling).
Removing these tables saves space in debug builds and has not caused
any readily-apparent functional changes.
Here is the size listing for an example program built without this
patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
76002 1508 21224 98734 181ae all-timers.galileo
Here is the size listing for the same program with this patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
72918 1508 21224 95650 175a2 all-timers.galileo
The primary motivation for this patch is to help enable UEFI support.
The .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr sections that are otherwise generated
are treated as code sections by the EDK2 GenFw program, since they are
read-only alloc sections. They get grouped with the actual code
sections, ahead of the data sections. This perturbs symbols and
complicates debugging.
This patch adds support for Ethernet to the Intel Galileo port. It
uses the Intel Quark X1000 Ethernet driver. It initializes the first
Ethernet interface and starts some common network services. By
default, it uses the following addresses:
- Host: 192.0.2.2
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway: 192.0.2.1
- DNS server: (same as default gateway)
These settings can be changed by editing eth-conf.c.
This patch adds the galileo-pinmux.c and galileo-pinmux.h files,
which support access to pinmux configuration through a function
interface.
This is not 100% supported yet due to some pinmux paths
need Quark X1000 GPIO (legacy and non-legacy) configurations.
After we finish to implement Quark X1000 GPIO driver we'll add
support for this.
This patch adds pwm-pca9685.c and pwm-pca9685.h files,
which support access to I2C-based PCA9685 PWM controller
configuration register through a function interface.
The PCA9685 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-channel LED controller
optimized for Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color backlighting
applications. Each LED output has its own 12-bit resolution
(4096 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that
operates at a programmable frequency from a typical of 24 Hz to
1526 Hz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 100 %
to allow the LED to be set to a specific brightness value.
More about PCA9685 can be found in its datasheet[1].
This driver is needed in order to configure Galileo pinmux.

This patch adds gpio-pcal9535a.c and gpio-pcal9535a.h files,
which support access to I2C-based PCAL9535A GPIO controller
configuration register through a function interface.
The PCAL9535A is a low-voltage 16-bit GPIO expander with interrupt
and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus applications. It contains the PCA9535
register set of four pairs of 8-bit Configuration, Input, Output,
and Polarity Inversion registers, and additionally, the PCAL9535A has
Agile I/O, which are additional features specifically designed to
enhance the I/O. More about PCAL9535A can be found in its datasheet[1].
This driver is needed in order to configure Galileo pinmux.

This patch adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections to the
'release' CFLAGS so each function and data is place into its
own section in the output file. It also adds --gc-section to
the 'release' LDFLAGS so the linker removes the sections which
are not referenced.
This patch also adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections
options to CFLAGS from build_newlib.sh. This increases newlib
static libraries size, however, the Contiki image shrinks even
more since --gc-section removes "dead code" from newlib.
As a practical effect, all unused function and data (as well as
sections such as .eh_frame) are striped out from the final elf
binary. This shrinks our release binary drastically.
Finally, to prevent --gc-section from removing .multiboot section,
this patch adds KEEP(*(.multiboot)) to quarkX1000.ld.
This patch slightly revises CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to specify the
optimization and debugging options and linker script in a way that is
compatible with using Clang as the C compiler and to invoke the linker
(i.e. CC = clang and LD = clang).
This patch modifies the include order to include headers from newlib
ahead of those from the core of Contiki. The only header file names
that are common between Contiki and newlib are assert.h and config.h,
but the config.h files in Contiki are only located in ports for other
CPUs so they are irrelevant to this patch. The motivation for this
patch is to cause files that include assert.h to include the one from
newlib that halts when an assertion fails. The assert implementation
in the core of Contiki does not halt when an assertion fails.
This patch also adds newlib syscall stubs that are required by the
newlib assert implementation and the _exit syscall function that halts
the system.
Finally, this patch updates some other newlib syscall stubs to
properly indicate their status as unsupported syscalls.
This patch revises README.md to mention the UART support introduced by
earlier patches in the section about verifying that Contiki is
running. It also revises the serial console setup instructions to
focus on the more thoroughly tested option.
This patch removes 'newlib-syscalls.c' from CONTIKI_SOURCEFILES variable
and appends it to PROJECT_SOURCEFILES. This way the buildsystem will
automatically consider the newlib-syscalls object code during linking
time.
This patch adds support for building release images. The main difference
between release images and default images is that the former is optimized
for size while the latter is "optimized" for debugging. To build a release
image, the BUILD_RELEASE variable should be set to 1. For instance, the
following command build a release image from the hello-world application:
$ cd examples/hello-world && make TARGET=galileo BUILD_RELEASE=1
To optimize for size we use the '-Os' option from gcc. This option also
enables the strict aliasing optimization. This generates lots of warning
messages since we use the '-Wall' option and lots of code in core/net/
break the strict-aliasing rules. Some test have shown that the strict
aliasing optimization it not taking effect in the final binary. For that
reasons, this patch manually disables the optimization. Also, the release
image is stripped.
For the sake of comparison, below follows the output from 'wc' and 'size'
for both debugging (default) and release images.
Default image:
$ wc -c hello-world.galileo
71112 hello-world.galileo
$ size hello-world.galileo
text data bss dec hex filename
20379 1188 12808 34375 8647 hello-world.galileo
Release image:
$ wc -c hello-world.galileo
26320 hello-world.galileo
$ size hello-world.galileo
text data bss dec hex filename
18146 1156 12808 32110 7d6e hello-world.galileo
This patch removes _kill_r and _getpid_r stubs since they are not
required by newlib at this moment. These stubs should not be in
the commit that introduced the initial newlib-syscalls.c file.
This patch introduces the initial support for stdio library in Galileo
platform. For now, only standard output and error are supported. Both
streams use the UART1 device.
Newlib doesn't call open() for stdin, stdout, and stderr which means
that the _write_r call is the first activity the stub will see on
those streams. For that reason, we initialize the UART1 device in
Galileo's platform main() function instead of in open() system call.
