|
|
|
+PTE is designed to be cross platform, and embedded OS's vary widely in
|
|
|
+their build methodology, there is no "high level" build structure
|
|
|
+included. Rather, each port is responsible for providing this.
|
|
|
+ The sections below describe using PTE for a specific platform.<br><br>While
|
|
|
+pthreads is strictly speaking a C API, PTE does include limited support
|
|
|
+for C++ specific features, specifically exceptions. This
|
|
|
+functionality was primarily inherited from the original code base
|
|
|
+(Pthreads-win32) and has been only preliminarily tested.<br><br>An
|
|
|
+important component of PTE is the test library that is included.
|
|
|
+ Each platform contains build files as described below to build
|
|
|
+the test suite.<br><big style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br>DSP/BIOS</big><br>Texas
|
|
|
+Instruments provides DSP/BIOS as a RTOS to be used on their series of
|
|
|
+digital signal processors. Two project files are included: one
|
|
|
+for the library itself and one for the test suite. These projects
|
|
|
+(and CDB/TCF files) were targeted towards the C6000 simulator, as this
|
|
|
+is where I did all of the development. When building applications
|
|
|
+that use the PTE library, you will need to include pthreads.h and will
|
|
|
+also need to provide a path to pte-types.h (originally located in
|
|
|
+platforms/dspbios/pte-types.h). This file contains definitions of
|
|
|
+structures and types (e.g. pid_t) that are required by pthreads but not
|
|
|
+supplied by DSP/BIOS<br><big style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br>PSP OS</big><br>This
|
|
|
+is the operating system used by the Sony PSP. The PSP toolchain
|
|
|
+is gcc based and thus shares many similarities with a "typical" UNIX
|
|
|
+system, including the build system. PTE includes Makefiles for
|
|
|
+the library itself as well as the test suite. Note that these
|
|
|
+Makefiles are pretty rudimentary as I am not anywhere close to being a
|
|
|
+Makefile expert. Thus, once the library is built it will be
|
|
|
+necessary to copy the library itself, pthread.h and pte-types.h to the
|
|
|
+appropriate places in your projects build structure. The PSP
|
|
|
+toolchain includes a pthread.h header in the base distribution (why,
|
|
|
+I'm not sure) - it is important that you use the pthread.hsupplied with PTE rather than the one in the toolchain. <br><br></body></html>
