DDE28

create a FAT partition if necessary as the 2GB partition isn’t big enough to fit CD images on

Thanks for the info. I already have the soft and the CD image.
My partition is 32 GB. It should be OK :)

Back on DDE. With CC I get a no writable memory error (or something closed to that) while compiling the hello world example. Normal?

use !syncdiscs to merge them with your existing copy

One of the problems with various ROOL downloads is that the timestamps are updated even if the actual files have not changed. Thus a lot of unnecessary copying takes place. In the past I have wondered whether to add a user option to SyncDiscs to ‘ignore timestamp differences’. It would still pick up changed files as long as something else changed, e.g. file length. SyncDiscs doesn’t do anything like CRC checks, so if only single bytes changed, then that would be missed.

Maybe I will give it a try anyway and see if it is successful at only updating changed files.

Does this not normally mean that the wimp slot is too small?

I would refer you the “tweaks for nerds” comments from Rick earlier in the thread

Specifically “And a one line tweak to hardwire the Next slot to 4096K as a 640K default on a hundreds of megabytes machine doesn’t make a lot of sense…”

@chris

yes thats why I later suggested gnu diff (if you have the rom source its in (romsources).library.gnu)

 SCSI::Harddisc4.$.Roms.OMAP3Dev.Library.GNU.diff SCSI::HardDisc4.$.Roms.BCM2835Dev_ORIG RAM::RamDisc0.$.BCM2835Dev -q -r > RAM::RamDisc0.$.test

outputs a file that looks easy to convert to copies and deletes to sync your normal version.

I have 2 MB… But I’ll check.
The frontend does not verify this?

Nope. I believe various people modify things.
Then again I think if you do things through Builder it’s all done for you.

The examples “should” all have a WimpSlot command in the Obey file. Don’t tell me that some are still missing…

The C ‘HelloW’ compiles just fine with !CC here, it is the C++ ‘hello’ that fails with !C++ giving the “No writable memory at this address” error. The fix for a FrontEnd using app is to increase the wimpslot in !C++.Desc.

re cvs

Is this what you want? SyncRom. You’ll need !cvs that I’ve added to the cvs distribution and a 256 MB ram disc

Please read the ReadMe files.

Basically you create a folder named after the rom you want eg BCM2835Dev and put !SyncRom in it. Runing !SyncRom the first time will download the rom sources to the same folder !SyncRom is in. The next time you run !SyncRom the sources folder is changed to match the cvs copy – note any changes in that folder will be lost.

Edit: For some reason these links are being changed from http to https. You’ll have to change that back to download the links.
