The GNU project produced a set of programming tools. Parts of the toolchain we will use are: -gcc: (GNU Compiler Collection): suite of compilers for many programming languages -binutils: Suite of tools including linker (ld), assembler (gas) -gdb: Code debugging tool -libc: Subset of standard C library (assuming a C compiler). -bash: free Unix shell (Bourne-again shell). Default shell on GNU/Linux systems and Mac OSX. Also ported to Microsoft Windows. -make: automation tool for compilation and build Program development tools The process of converting source code to an executable binary image requires several steps, each with its own tool.

  • Compiler Construction
    Compiler Construction Chapter 11 Compiler Construction Compiler Construction 1 A New Compiler • Perhaps a new source language • Perhaps a new target for an existing compiler • Perhaps both Compiler Construction Compiler Construction 2 Source Language • Larger, more complex languages generally require larger, more complex compilers • Is the source language expected to evolve? – E.g., Java 1.0 ! Java 1.1 ! . – A brand new language may undergo considerable change early on – A small working prototype may be in order – Compiler writers must anticipate some amount of change and their design must therefore be flexible – Lexer and parser generators (like Lex and Yacc) are therefore better than hand- coding the lexer and parser when change is inevitable Compiler Construction Compiler Construction 3 Target Language • The nature of the target language and run-time environment influence compiler construction considerably • A new processor and/or its assembler may be buggy Buggy targets make it difficult to debug compilers for that target! • A successful source language will persist over several target generations – E.g., 386 ! 486 ! Pentium ! . – Thus the design of the IR is important – Modularization of machine-specific details is also important Compiler Construction Compiler Construction 4 Compiler Performance Issues • Compiler speed • Generated code quality • Error diagnostics • Portability • Maintainability Compiler Construction Compiler Construction 5 Compiler Speed • Reduce the number of modules • Reduce the number of passes Perhaps generate machine

  • A Model-Driven Development and Verification Approach
    A MODEL-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT AND VERIFICATION APPROACH FOR MEDICAL DEVICES by Jakub Jedryszek B.S., Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland, 2012 B.A., Wroclaw University of Economics, Poland, 2012 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Computing and Information Sciences College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor John Hatcliff Abstract Medical devices are safety-critical systems whose failure may put human life in danger. They are becoming more advanced and thus more complex. This leads to bigger and more complicated code-bases that are hard to maintain and verify. Model-driven development provides high-level and abstract description of the system in the form of models that omit details, which are not relevant during the design phase. This allows for certain types of verification and hazard analysis to be performed on the models. These models can then be translated into code. However, errors that do not exist in the models may be introduced during the implementation phase. Automated translation from verified models to code may prevent to some extent. This thesis proposes approach for model-driven development and verification of medi- cal devices. Models are created in AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language), a language for software and hardware architecture modeling. AADL models are translated to SPARK Ada, contract-based programming language, which is suitable for software veri- fication. Generated code base is further extended by developers to implement internals of specific devices. Created programs can be verified using SPARK tools. A PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) pump medical device is used to illustrate the primary artifacts and process steps.

    EECS 373: Design of Microprocessor-Based Systems Fall 2012 Lecture 3: Toolchains Instructor: Prabal Dutta Date: October 2, 2012 Note: Unless otherwise specified, these notes assume: (i) an ARM Cortex-M3 processor operating in little endian mode; (ii) the ARM EABI application binary interface; and (iii) the GNU GCC toolchain. Toolchains A complete software toolchain includes programs to convert source code into binary machine code, link together separately assembled/compiled code modules, disassemble the binaries, and convert their formats. Binary program file (.bin) Assembly Object Executable files (.s) files (.o) image file objcopy ld (linker) as objdump (assembler) Memory layout Disassembled Linker code (.lst) script (.ld) Figure 0.1: Assembler Toolchain. A typical GNU (GNU's Not Unix) assembler toolchain includes several programs that interact as shown in Figure 0.1 and perform the following functions: • as is the assembler and it converts human-readable assembly language programs into binary machine language code. It typically takes as input .s assembly files and outputs .o object files. • ld is the linker and it is used to combine multiple object files by resolving their external symbol references and relocating their data sections, and outputting a single executable file. It typically takes as input .o object files and .ld linker scripts and outputs .out executable files. • objcopy is a translation utility that copies and converts the contents of an object file from one format (e.g. .out) another (e.g. .bin). • objdump is a disassembler but it can also display various other information about object files. It is often used to disassemble binary files (e.g.

Unlike standard versions of Linux for Personal Computers, embedded Linux is designed for systems with limited resources Memory: few RAM, sometimes no Memory Management Unit (MMU) Storage: Flash instead of hard disk drive Since embedded systems are often designed for domain specific purposes and specific target platforms, they use kernel versions that are optimized for a given context of application. This results in different Linux kernel variants that are also called Linux distributions Polytech’Nice Sophia - Département Electronique - Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis - S.

  • Transparent Dynamic Optimization: the Design and Implementation of Dynamo
    Transparent Dynamic Optimization: The Design and Implementation of Dynamo Vasanth Bala, Evelyn Duesterwald, Sanjeev Banerjia HP Laboratories Cambridge HPL-1999-78 June, 1999 E-mail: [email protected] dynamic Dynamic optimization refers to the runtime optimization optimization, of a native program binary. This report describes the compiler, design and implementation of Dynamo, a prototype trace selection, dynamic optimizer that is capable of optimizing a native binary translation program binary at runtime. Dynamo is a realistic implementation, not a simulation, that is written entirely in user-level software, and runs on a PA-RISC machine under the HPUX operating system. Dynamo does not depend on any special programming language, compiler, operating system or hardware support. Contrary to intuition, we demonstrate that it is possible to use a piece of software to improve the performance of a native, statically optimized program binary, while it is executing. Dynamo not only speeds up real application programs, its performance improvement is often quite significant. For example, the performance of many +O2 optimized SPECint95 binaries running under Dynamo is comparable to the performance of their +O4 optimized version running without Dynamo.
