Misc 1 : Qemu launching

1) A script to make qemu launching automatic

Sometimes, the list of commands one has to type as host can be very long and tedious; and forgetting to type one of them leads to unpleasant results (ex : a mounted image should be unmounted before being used by qemu)

a bash script like this one, once adapted, might give ideas to avoid errors..

echo "          image pour qemu : ${NOM_IMAGE:=armadeus-qemu.img}
        montee dans  ${NOM_DIR_MNT:=qemu-mnt} "
echo -e "       repertoire de transit : ${TFTBOOT:=tftboot} 
        rafraichissement ${rafraichir:=no} 
	options -rw ou ro- : ${OPTION:=rw} 
        RAM :${RAMSIZE:=96M} DISQUE: ${DISKSIZE:=160} 
        image de boot :${VMBOOT:=./vmlinuz-2.6.29.6-versatile-armadeus}
"

Nota : this script has been tested and run with some satisfaction for more than one month on Scientific Linux - 5.7 (a Red Hat clone, able to mount NTFS partitions and having a live DVD),Fedora 16 and a Mageia-1: emulated cards were apf9328 and apf27. The only flaw I could notice with SL-5.x was the absence of qemu on their live DVD (it is difficult to have a package manager add stuff on a RO media...) , which could be recompiled from source in a RW part of a disk with little trouble.

Nota : Some things are very unstandard : using /usr/local as a working directory on ones host is a consequence of lazy mounts on a Scientific Linux live DVD.... The size of the disks and the RAM do not need to be realistic, as it is meant for some tests (and lacking 500 K of disk , without tools to test it, might be frustrating)

Nota : copies which are made on an emulated image wo not appear on real hardware....

Misc 2

Adding a text editor:

Natively, armadeus is shipped with nano, a very simple version of vi (not like vim) and uemacs. If one needs some features like syntax highlighting (for shell/lua scripting) , noone of them is satisfying (and a full version of vim can be installed, but is space-consuming). A light solution can be found with joe [1], which offers syntax-highlighting (I noticed that 10% of my errors could be avoided with such a feature). The easiest solution is to compile it from source, test it and train oneself with it, and to modify the make invocation to use Armadeus's cross compiler instead of gcc, which leads to the following script one should execute on ones PC:

   JOEROOT=/usr/local/ # in both the PC and the (emulated) Armadeus card tomake things simple....

      cd /usr/local/armadeus-4.0/# both these lines depend on your installation and should be adapted
      cd ~/armadeus-4.0/
      cd joe-3.7/ # joe's source tree is located here

      ici=`pwd`
      make clean # first, removes everything (might be arm's binaries)
      ./configure   --disable-termcap --prefix=${JOEROOT}
      make && sudo make install
   cd ..
   # now, to arms

   make shell_env && source armadeus_env.sh
   export PATH=${ARMADEUS_TOOLCHAIN_PATH}/../bin/:${PATH}
   cd ${ici}
   # one removes x86 binaries, then one builds for arm
   make clean && make CC=arm-linux-gcc
  # some tests 

   echo "unstripped joe " > joestrip.txt
   cp joe ../tftboot/unstrippedjoe 
   ls -l joe >> joestrip.txt
   echo "stripped joe " >> joestrip.txt
     arm-linux-strip joe
   ls -l joe >> joestrip.txt

   cp joe ../tftboot/. # it is ready to be shiped to an emulated card..
     mkdir .././tftboot/usrlocalshare
     cp -rpvf ${JOERROT}/share/joe  .././tftboot/usrlocalshare/.
     mkdir .././tftboot/usrlocaletc
     cp -rpvf ${JOERROT}/etc/joe  .././tftboot/usrlocaletc/.
     # history >joestory

In this configuration, joe can be activated from an emulated card, its help appears but there is no syntax highligting. The ressource files/folders necessary to syntax highlight , however, have been shipped (they are ASCII files, valid on a x86 and an arm) but need to be on the right place. This can be achievd by executing, under an emulated board, a script like that:

[ -d /usr/local/share ] || mkdir /usr/local/share
[ -d /usr/local/etc ] || mkdir /usr/local/etc
\mv   /usr/local/bin/usrlocalshare/joe /usr/local/share/. 
\mv /usr/local/bin/usrlocaletc/joe /usr/local/etc/.

After this installation (there are better ones, based on tar files, say: as tar exists with Busy Box, but this way can give opportunities of easily removing some syntax files, if they are felt unuseful), syntax highlight works...
