- And by type I meant typo.
Ironic.

- I should have known something was wrong when everything seemed to be going so well.
For the record, nothing is ever easy.

Heh. Two nop's.
Good luck with the library. If it turns out, I would like to use it some day.

- OK, got the linker script sorted out (g0dev's wasn't 100% perfect for what I'm doing) and things seem, once again, to be working well. I'm now working on building newlib.

- Most of newlib is up and running, thanks to a friend who got it on broadband and converted it from gzip to 7zip (a savings of about 4 MB IIRC). I still have to handle some syscall things but I have a nice demo running with sines and square roots.
I rebuilt the whole toolchain (several times) for a mips64vr4300 target.
Actually the target was just mips64, gcc won't build with mips64vr4300 though newlib and the binutils will, so I manually specify the CPU as vr4300 (though it probably isn't worth the trouble). It's nice to see all 64 bits in use.

- Why must sprintf require any syscalls at all?
- by hcs at 11:49 PM EDT on June 13, 2005
- And don't try to explain it to me, I've been through the source so I know.

- What code I have is now up:
n64test5.zip
My configure parameters:
../binutils-2.16/configure --target=mips64 --with-cpu=mips64vr4300
../gcc-3.3.6/configure --target=mips64 --with-cpu=mip64vr4300 --disable-threads --with-newlib
../newlib-1.13.0/configure --target=mips64 --with-cpu=mips64vr4300 --prefix=/usr/local --disable-multilib --disable-threads
I'm not sure if the --with-cpu in binutils and newlib actually does anything, ditto for --disable-threads.
The demo draws a moving sine wave, prints text, and scales the screen, all through my VI lib and newlib. I haven't been able to get it working in an emulator but it works great on the hardware.
This is still very much in development, I'd just like to see if someone can follow my path so far...

- One more thing: there seems to be a problem wherein the console doesn't reset more often than not and I have to cycle the power. I haven't looked into exception handlers yet, or it may be a hardware problem, I don't know.
Good night.

- More suckage: I have nice controller access functions written but they don't seem to work consistently and the thing crashes a lot.
