# Synopsys ARC Boards support with embARC_BSP
|
||
|
||
## embARC_BSP
|
||
|
||
The embARC Board support Package (BSP) is a software distributions aimed at facilitating
|
||
the development and evaluation of embedded systems based on ARCv2 processors, which is
|
||
designed to provide a minimal board support package for ARC users by defining
|
||
consistent and simple software interfaces to the processors and onboard devices.
|
||
|
||
The embARC BSP is a new generation embARC software development package.
|
||
It is designed to be the inter-layer between hardware and operating system.
|
||
BSP could hide the difference of hardware/boards, provide a unified interface to upper-layer.
|
||
In the scenarios that no OS is required, embARC BSP can also standalone and work in baremetal.
|
||
|
||
embARC_BSP features:
|
||
|
||
* Support MetaWare & GNU toolchains
|
||
* Support all development boards and tcf
|
||
* Support various build systems and compiling environments,
|
||
such as ARC MetaWare & GNU IDE, makefile
|
||
* Designware and Subsystem drivers, including UART and GPIO, I2C, SPI, etc.
|
||
* No middleware, no OS
|
||
* Easy to port to different platform / OS
|
||
* One example (UART, GPIO, timer)
|
||
* Code coverage reach 100% in test.
|
||
* MISRA-C compliance
|
||
* C & C++ support, assembly support
|
||
|
||

## Software Requirement
|
||
|
||
### embarc_bsp
|
||
|
||
There are two ways to get embarc_bsp:
|
||
|
||
#### use RT-Thread ENV tool:
|
||
|
||
embARC_BSP has been configured as package module, you can just run the command `pkgs --update` in <RTT_ROOT>/bsp/synopsys/boards
|
||
folder using ENV tool.
|
||
|
||
#### without RT-Thread ENV tool:
|
||
|
||
We can get it from github: [embarc_bsp](https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors)
|
||
|
||
The default path for embarc_bsp is <RTT_ROOT>/bsp/synopsys/boards/packages/embARC_bsp-upstream,
|
||
when you use other path, please set the environment variable `EMBARC_BSP_ROOT`.
|
||
|
||
### Toolchain
|
||
|
||
Now both GNU and MetaWare Toolchain are supported, set the System environment variable RTT_CC select the toolchain.
|
||
|
||
GNU:
|
||
|
||
set RTT_CC=gcc
|
||
|
||
MetaWare:
|
||
|
||
set RTT_CC=mw
|
||
|
||
#### GNU
|
||
|
||
The ARC GNU Toolchain offers all of the benefits of open source tools, including complete source code and a large install base. The ARC GNU IDE Installer consists of Eclipse IDE with [ARC GNU plugin for Eclipse](https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/arc_gnu_eclipse/releases), [ARC GNU prebuilt toolchain](https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases) and [OpenOCD for ARC](https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/openocd>)
|
||
|
||
Here, the ARC GNU toolchain is installed to `c:\arc_gnu`. If not, please change the path configuration in rtconfig.py.
|
||
|
||
When you use GNU Toolchain, you need to install [Zadig](http://zadig.akeo.ie) to replace the default FTDI driver with WinUSB driver. See [How to Use OpenOCD on Windows](https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/arc_gnu_eclipse/wiki/How-to-Use-OpenOCD-on-Windows>) for more information.
|
||
|
||
#### MetaWare
|
||
The [DesignWare ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit](https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=sw_metaware) builds on a long legacy of industry-leading compiler and debugger products for embedded applications. It is a complete solution that contains all the components needed to support the development, debugging, and tuning of embedded applications for the DesignWare® ARC® processors.
|
||
|
||
Here, the ARC MetaWare toolchain is installed to `C:\ARC\MetaWare`. If not, please change the path configuration in rtconfig.py.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Build & Debug
|
||
|
||
### Build embarc_lib
|
||
|
||
please run the following cmds to build embarc_lib
|
||
|
||
cd <rt-thread-root>/bsp/synopsys/boards
|
||
scons --embarc_build
|
||
|
||
### Build
|
||
|
||
please run the following cmds to build
|
||
|
||
cd <rt-thread-root>/bsp/synopsys/boards
|
||
scons
|
||
|
||
### Debug
|
||
|
||
After compile, please use the following cmds to debug
|
||
|
||
scons --gdb #use gdb debugger
|
||
scons --mdb #use mdb debugger
|
||
|
||
|
||
### How to choose different boards
|
||
|
||
There are some parameters we can use in scons, for example:
|
||
|
||
scons --BOARD=emsk --BD_VER=23 --CUR_CORE=arcem9d --TOOLCHAIN=mw --OLEVEL=O2
|
||
|
||
* BOARD: choose the board, we can set: `emsk, iotdk, emsdp, hsdk, axs`.
|
||
* BD_VER: choose the board version, some boards have different versions, for example,
|
||
we can set: `10, 22, 23` for emsk board.
|
||
* CUR_CORE: choose the arc cores, some boards have different cores, for example,
|
||
we can set: `arcem7d, arcem9d, arcem11d` for emsk board.
|
||
* TOOLCHAIN: choose the toolchain to build embarc_lib, we can set: `mw, gnu`.
|
||
* OLEVEL: choose the build optimize level, we can set: `O0, O2, Os`.
|
||
|
||
For more information, you can run the command `scons -h`.
