[erlang-questions] R14B04 on Tilera TILEPro64?

[Olivier BOUDEVILLE]

Hi,

Reading this very insightful message from Björn-Egil: http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/How-to-compiler-Erlang-for-the-TILEPro64-tp2119083p2119084.html  I was wondering if some details could be shared about how the newer (starting from R13B04) cross-compilation build process of the Erlang VM is to be used now on these Tilera cards.

(I tried to apply the recipe explained in this thread with R14B04 and R13B03 without much luck; anyway I suppose a different process is to be applied now?).

Thanks in advance for any hint,
Best regards,

Olivier.

Hi,

any update on this?

I might start playing with Tilera64 on R15B02 soonish, but would like to
have a closest starting point possible.

I haven't played around with the Tilera cards since r13b -> r14b:ish so I can't give you any more insight than that mail-thread atm. 

From what I remember, the compiling was pretty straight forward though tile-gcc gave a lot more warnings than ordinary gcc. Mostly functions with no prototypes. (seems scary when you first see it but its fine)

Look at the xcomp file for hints to configure. I might be the case that the tilera-xcomp.conf file commited to the otp-repo is very tailored to the Tilera card we have, and certainly  tailored to the MDE-version.

Btw, "xcomp" is a special procedure for cross-compiling OTP. It isn't necessary to cross-compile it this way. You should be able to cross-compile it the normal way, like any other open source project.

Also, I did do cross-compilation but the guys at Tilera Corp. uploaded everything to the card and compiled OTP there instead. They didn't bother with cross-compilation. That could be another option.
