qnet with Sandpoint & x86 host

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qdn.public.qnxrtp.powerpc

Hello,

Target: Sandpoint eval board with ppc8245 running QNX 6.2.0
Host: x86 PC also running QNX 6.2.0
NIC: DEC w 21040 chipset - using the Generic tulip driver

here is the idea… I want to start my target, download and boot a basic
load of QNX. Then, in order to make various tests, I want my binaries and
libraries to be loaded through Qnet. This way, I could have a “ligther” load
and run many tests without having to reboot. I could also modify the
binaries or libraries on my host and execute new tests without having to
download the modified stuff. Does it sound right ? (I think so…)

The problem…
The net is configured ok, I can ping from/to the target/host. Qnet is
started ok, I can see the host’s hostname, fardoche, (and others x86
hosts/targets) from my host the /net as shown here:

ls /net

crane. hpbrio2. rdqnx.
fardoche. nelson. sandpoint

Process 53256 (ls) exited status=0.

Here is what I see from the host:

(fardoche)/home/mlab > ls /net
crane hpbrio2 rdqnx
fardoche nelson sandpoint.net.intra
(fardoche)/home/mlab >

However, there seems to be a problem regarding the endianness. I know the
ppc is BE and the x86 LE but I don’t think it should be a problem, unless
the Qnet doesn’t translate ntoh / hton.

Here is the output when I try to list the content of my host from the
target. The same error comes up the other way…

ls /net/fardoche.

ls: Endian not supported (/net/fardoche.)

Process 57352 (ls) exited status=1.

I also noticed that there is a ‘.’ after each x86 host on the Qnet from the
Sandpoint and that the Sandpoint’s hostname appear as “sandpoint.net.intra”.
Could that be a pointer to the source of the problem. I don’t know where the
Sandpoint gets its domain name either !?

What can I do to acheive my goal ? Would I be better off using nfs ? Is it
possible to do what I want ?

thx

Correct, Qnet does not work inter-endian. The issue is at many levels, but
comes down to the fact that Qnet is mostly a bridge for transparent message
passing over the network. You will have to use nfs.

Here is a buildfile I use for doing just this with qnet, simply add in
tcpip at the start and use fs-nfs2/3 before the symlinks are all made.

ok, but I need more than just messages > :frowning:

I’ll try with nfs then… any issues working with NFS to load binaries and

True - but we don’t provide any inter-endian discovery method so unless you
manually enter the pid/chid of the server to the client you cannot even make
the connection to send a raw message.

me again :wink:

ok, now I can ‘see’ the binaries and libs compiled on my host with -V
gcc_ntoppcbe and PATH is set to:

PATH=/proc/boot:/bin:.

I compiled a simple “hello world” program (qcc -V gcc_ntoppcbe -g -o hello
hello.c). When I try to run it on the target I get the error “Bad file
descriptor” ? Should it be loaded in RAM as if it was located on any local
device like a hard disk ?

I attached my build file, maybe it can help ?

thx again !

Try using fs-nfs2. I belive there is a bug in 6.2.0’s fs-nfs3 where it
can’t run binaries (fixed in 6.2.1).

Correct, Qnet does not work inter-endian. The issue is at many
levels,
but
comes down to the fact that Qnet is mostly a bridge for transparent

I’ll try with nfs then… any issues working with NFS to load
binaries and libs ?

NFS works fine.
ah ha !!! got ya > :wink:

It works fine with NFS 2, at least with simple programs. I’ll try nfs 3
again when I can get a hold on a copy of 6.2.1 !

thanks for the great support, fast and efficient !

Try using fs-nfs2. I belive there is a bug in 6.2.0’s fs-nfs3 where it
can’t run binaries (fixed in 6.2.1).

ok, now I can ‘see’ the binaries and libs compiled on my host with -V
gcc_ntoppcbe and PATH is set to:

PATH=/proc/boot:/bin:.

I compiled a simple “hello world” program (qcc -V gcc_ntoppcbe -g -o
hello
hello.c). When I try to run it on the target I get the error “Bad file
descriptor” ? Should it be loaded in RAM as if it was located on any
local
device like a hard disk ?

I attached my build file, maybe it can help ?

thx again !

Correct, Qnet does not work inter-endian. The issue is at many
levels,
but
comes down to the fact that Qnet is mostly a bridge for
transparent
message
passing over the network. You will have to use nfs.

Here is a buildfile I use for doing just this with qnet, simply
add
in
tcpip at the start and use fs-nfs2/3 before the symlinks are all
made.

Actually, QNET is ok endian wise, it’s the resmgr stuff that rides
on
top
which isn’t (ie. file IO). So you could send a message over QNET
from
an
‘le’ box to a ‘be’ box, as long as the message payload makes sense
to
the
target.
ok, but I need more than just messages > :frowning:

NFS works fine.
