MCF547x/8x Linux BSP Quick Start
This document provides instructions for getting started
with the MCF547x/8x BSP.
NOTE
The 2.4 PCS BSP has
been tested with RedHat 8
and 9, Fedora Core 3,
SuSe 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2,
and Debian 3.0. The BSP
without PCS has be tested
with RedHat 9, SuSe 9.2,
and Fedora Core 1.
Neither BSP works with
Cygwin.
As of the writing of this document, there are two Linux
BSPs for the MCF547x and MCF548x microprocessors.
1. The first BSP is a free, standard Linux BSP
containing the kernel, core tools, and compilers
for the target board. It requires no additional
software to deploy on the target.

2. The second BSP (PCS BSP) is configured to work with the Metrowerks Platform Suite (PCS)
Tool. PCS is a tools framework into which Metrowerks Linux BSPs are integrated into a
development environment. It allows users to configure, extend, build, and deploy Linux software
with ease.
These BSPs currently support the following boards:
1. M5475EVB
2. M5485EVB
3. M5474LITE
4. M5484LITE
The M5475EVB and M5485EVB development systems provide everything required to quickly
develop an embedded design with the MCF547x/8x processor family. The kit contains a
system-on-module, called a Fire Engine, containing 64 MBytes of DDR-SDRAM, 16 MB of Flash, a
graphics controller, and a 4-port USB host.
The M5474/84LITE development systems provide a more cost effective solution for getting started with
the MCF547x/8x processor family. The kit contains a Fire Engine, containing 64 MBytes of
DDR-SDRAM, 4 MB of Boot Flash, and a USB Device output.
All MCF547x/8x BSPs can be downloaded from any of the specific MCF547x/8x processor specific
pages, or directly from the Metrowerks website: http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/download/default.asp.

Linux BSP Installation Without PCS
To build the kernel and userland applications, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the tar.gz file:
tar xzvf
2. Go to LinuxBSP/ directory
3. Type make fresh
Then, choose one of the following processes:
a) If you want to use the default configuration for your board:
4. Type make config-m547xevb
(config-m547xevb, config-m547xlite, config-m548xevb, config-m548xlite are supported)
5. Type make dep
6. Type make
MCF547x/8x Linux BSP Quick Start, Rev. 0.2

Makefile Targets Description
b) If you want to manually configure the kernel and userland:
4. Type make xconfig
Choose the necessary userland applications and kernel options. Make sure that correct CPU type
is specified (for busybox configuration, 'menuconfig' is called instead of 'xconfig').
5. Type make dep
6. Type make
The compilation process will start.
As a result, the image.bin file will appear in./images directory. This file can be downloaded to the board
using Colilo, described in Section 2.1, “Image loading Steps Using Colilo.”
NOTE
If you have problems building the kernel with current toolchain binaries, try
to rebuild the toolchain from sources. To do this type: make toolchain.
2.1
Image loading Steps Using Colilo
1. The Colilo directory contains RAM and Flash versions of Colilo. Download the appropriate
Colilo.srec file to address 0x1000000 in RAM or 0xE0000000 in Flash using dBUG (serial or tftp
download). Set up the dBUG network options, set the file name, and type
dBUG> dn.
2. Run Colilo from 0x1000400 in RAM (0xE0000400 in Flash):
dBUG> g 0x1000400
3. Set Colilo network parameters and file name (type '?' for help):
colilo> set ip
colilo> set netmask
colilo> set server
colilo> set image
4. Download the image.bin file to address 0x1000:
colilo> tftp 0x1000
5. Run image from address 0x2000:
colilo> g 0x2000
This will run the kernel.
After these steps, you should see the login prompt.

Linux BSP Installation With PCS
To set up the Linux BSP, make sure you have PCS installed and follow these steps:
As root:
1. Mount the supplied .iso image file to a location (e.g. /mnt/disk):
mount mcf5485_5475-3.0.iso /mnt/disk -o loop
2. Go to /mnt/ and run disk/install.sh file. This installs the new platform to PCS.
As user:
3. Run PCS (type 'tw' in the console).
4. Choose Project -> New from the menu bar.
5. Specify the project name, path, and other necessary options. On the last step of new project
creation, choose 'm68k mcf5485_5475' as your target platform. Click ‘Finish.’
6. You should now see the project structure. Choose the components to build and install.
NOTE
To
debug
userland
applications,
make
'Programming->Debugger->gdb
application
/usr/bin/gdbserver?' option enabled.
sure
you
have
debugging->Include
7. Press the 'Build all' button (or press F8). This builds the kernel and userland applications.
8. Press the 'Deploy' button. This starts the deployment wizard. Follow these steps:
1. During the first step, choose Deployment method, Board type, and Colilo options. For more
information about available options, use the help system.

Userland Applications Debugging Without PCS
To debug userland applications, it is best to choose:
a. Application Development Deploy: this places the kernel into flash and allows use of
nfsroot.
b. Download, save and run colilo from Flash for the first deployment only. This places colilo
into flash and allows one to type 'go 0xE0000400' at the dBug prompt after board reset to
start the kernel.
c. Save dBUG vars in flash.
d. Configure colilo for autobooting of Linux after starting. Options should be checked. This
allows colilo to start the kernel automatically. Click 'Next.’
2. Build the target root file system in a directory on the host. After clicking 'Next' you will see
rootfs creation process.
3. The next step allows you to remove debug information from the file system image. DO NOT
DO THIS if you want to debug applications (the check box should be checked). Click 'Next.’
4. Enter host info and click 'Next.’
5. Enter target network options.
6. The next step allows you to update the root file system with new network options BUT if the
nfs root was chosen during the first step, it is recommended to check 'Do not change the target
root file system' box. Click 'Next' button.
7. Check the box here if you want to automatically bring up the network interface on the target
board. Do not check this box if the nfs root was chosen during the first step. Click 'Next.’
8. This step configures the host tftp and nfs services. Check the 'Do not change host
configuration' box if your host is already configured or if you want to configure it manually.
Click 'Next.’
9. During this step, the target MAC address should be specified. The command line may remain
default. Click 'Next.’
10. Next step prepares ROMFS and JFFS file systems.
11. Follow the instructions on the page. Click 'Next.’
12. On this page, choose the host serial port device and terminal program.
13. During the next steps, the terminal program is run and commands are sent to dBUG. It loads
the colilo, which loads the kernel and executes it. Make sure the board is connected to the
network.
After these steps, you should see the login prompt.
5
Userland Applications Debugging Without PCS
To debug userland applications using gdbserver, follow these steps:
1. gdb and gdbserver should be built. To build gdb, type: make gdb.
2. Upload image.bin to the target and run it.
3. romfs should contain the ELF file that you want to debug.
4. Run gdbserver on the target by typing gdbserver :
For example: gdbserver:3000 /bin/hello
MCF547x/8x Linux BSP Quick Start, Rev. 0.2
6
Freescale Semiconductor
Userland Applications Debugging With PCS
5. On the host PC, execute: m68k-linux-gdb
The gdb prompt will appear. Type:
gdb> file
(file should be with debug information)
gdb> set solib-absolute-prefix
(it needs it to search for shared libraries; it adds 'lib/' to this path)
gdb> set remotetimeout 60
(!!!very important)
gdb> target remote :3000
NOTE
All these commands can be placed in the gdb command file. To run gdb
type:
./m68k-linux-gdb --command=
NOTE
It can take up to 30 seconds to start executing/debugging the application.
6. You should now be able to stepi, insert breakpoints, print registers, etc.
6
Userland Applications Debugging With PCS
To debug userland applications using gdbserver without PCS, follow these steps:
1. The kernel should be built with 'Programming->Debugger->gdb application debugging->Include
/usr/bin/gdbserver?' option enabled and network configured.
2. Upload the kernel to the target using the deployment process described above in Section 2, “Linux
BSP Installation Without PCS.”
3. Assume that romfs contains the ELF file that we want to debug (see Section 10, “Adding a New
Userland Application to the Project Without PCS”).
4. Run gdbserver on the target gdbserver :
For example: gdbserver 192.168.1.33:3000 /bin/hello
5. On the host PC: execute m68k-linux-gdb
This file is situated in /emb-bin/. The gdb prompt will appear. Type:
target remote :
add-symbol-file
For example:
target remote 192.168.1.33:3000
add-symbol-file /tftpboot/Linux_BSP/romfs/bin/hello
6. You should now be able to stepi, insert breakpoints, print registers, etc.

7.1
To Debug the Kernel Using bdm-gdb
1. Build the kernel and all selected userland applications.
2. Build GDB for BDM using gdb_bdm target:
make gdb_bdm
3. Connect the target board to the host using bdm-lpt cable.
4. Power up the board.
5. Execute (as root!):
/m68k-gdb-bdm/debug.sh
This runs GDB for BDM and load 5485.gdb configuration file.
6. On the GDB command prompt type the following commands:
c
Ctrl + c
load
set $pc=0x2000
hbreak *()
c
Warning: You can use only hardware breakpoints.
7. Now you can continue debugging the kernel.
7.2
To Debug the Kernel Using Abatron BDI 2000
1. Prepare the Abatron BDI to work with the MCF547x/8x target boards:
1. If your BDI does not support the new boards (547x/8x), you should update its firmware and
.cfg files.
2. Connect the BDI2000 to the 5485/75 board and network.
3. Set the telnet connection to BDI2000 from the host PC:
telnet
4. When you see BDI prompt type:
reset
go
halt
This resets the board, runs dBug, and halts the execution. We use dBUG to initialize the
hardware on the board when colilo is not used.
2. Build the kernel.
3. Copy your image/image.bin file to your tftp directory (e.g. /tftpboot).
4. Switch to the console with BDI telnet session running and type: load 0x1000 image.bin
This loads the binary to the board.

Run the deployment process. During the first step of the deployment process, select ‘ROMFS
Deploy’ as Deployment Method. This combines kernel and romfs images into one binary file.
Stop when you reach the 11th step of deployment (Set Jumpers, Connect Cables, and Power ON).
At this stage you will get the ‘linux_tftp.bin’ file in your /tftpboot directory. You can now cancel
the deployment.
Switch to the console with BDI telnet session running and type:
load 0x1000 linux_tftp.bin
This loads the binary to the board.
Run ‘bdi_kernel_debug.sh’ script from the ‘/emb-bin/’. This script will run DDD.
Open one more console window and make the serial connection to the board from the host PC:
tip -s 19200 /dev/ttyS0
On the DDD command line type:

Setting Up Device Drivers and Modules
9.1
FEC Driver
To include the FEC driver in compilation, the following options should be enabled:
• kernel->Network device support->
— Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC) (with all dependencies)
— Auto-Negotiation enable
— Second FEC enable
• kernel->Networking options->
— Packet socket
— Unix domain sockets
— TCP/IP networking

Freescale Semiconductor
Setting Up Device Drivers and Modules
If your kernel is up and running from nfsroot, the FEC driver works perfectly. Additionally, you can set up
the second FEC adapter by typing on the target console:
/sbin/ifconfig eht1
It is also possible to ping the board from the host PC.
9.2
I2C Driver
To include the I2C driver in compilation, the following options should be enabled:
• kernel->character devices->I2C support->
— I2C ColdFire
— I2C device interface
— I2C /proc interface
Also, make sure that you have I2C tools included in compilation (Administration->Hardware->I2C-tools).
To check the I2C driver, you can type on the target's console:
• i2cdetect will show you the installed adapters and buses.
• i2cdetect 0 will scan the bus for the clients. It should find the client with address 0x32. This is the
RTC device.
• i2cdump 0 0x32 will dump the registers of the RTC device (can take a long time).
9.3
IRDA Driver
To include the IrDA driver in compilation, the following option should be enabled:
• kernel->Character Devices->Support for serial IrDA port
The IrDA device file is /dev/ttyS3.
9.4
SEC Driver
To include the SEC driver in compilation, the following options should be enabled:
• kernel->Cryptographic options->
— Security Encryption Controller (SEC) support
— Cryptographic API->
– MD5 digest algorithm
– SHA1 digest algorithm
– DES and Triple DES EDE cipher algorithms
– AES cipher algorithms
– ARC4 cipher algorithm
It is also possible to enable ‘Testing module’ compilation to test SEC support.

9.5
IPSEC Module
To include the IPSEC driver in compilation, the following options should be enabled:
• kernel->Network Device Support->
— IPSEC tunnel device
To include ipsecadm you should enable:
• Administration-> Administration_Network->tcp_wrappers->ipsecadm
The IPsec tunnel implementation is divided into two parts: one kernel module called ipsec_tunnel.o, and
a tool to administrate security associations and tunnels called ipsecadm.
The ipsecadm tool has a built-in brief help which is displayed if you execute it without parameters, or with
unknown or invalid parameters. The tool has three main modes: the first is for adding and removing
security associations (SAs), the second is for adding, modifying and removing tunnels, and the third mode
is for displaying statistics. Before we start, we need an example scenario. Let's say that we are going to
create a tunnel between the two hosts A and B. The public IP number of host A is 1.2.3.4 and its private
IP address is 10.0.1.0/24.
IPsec uses Security Associations (SAs), which are another name for a security agreement between two
hosts. The SA is uniquely described by two IP addresses and a 32-bit number called a SPI. The SPI allows
more than one SA between a pair of hosts. When the SA was agreed upon, the two parties agreed upon the
type of the SA which can basically be encryption and/or authorization, but also the algorithms, key sizes,
and keys to be used.
Before we can create an SA, we need a key. The best way to create a key is to use ipsecadm. To create a
192-bit key (which corresponds to 24 bytes) and put it in the file /etc/ipsec/ipsec.key run the following:
mkdir /etc/ipsec
chmod 500 /etc/ipsec
ipsecadm key create 3des --file=/etc/ipsec/example.key
Before the previous command execution on the nfs file system, we need to make it available for writing:
mount –o remount,rw /dev/root /
For the romfs we have to place the generated key to ‘/merge/etc/ipsec/’. Now we can use
ipsecadm to create the SA above. The name of the cipher is specified using its CryptoAPI name, which
can be a little strange. The name for triple DES is des3_ede. You can see which ciphers you have installed
by looking in the file /proc/crypto.
ipsecadm sa add --spi=0x1000 --dst=192.168.1.16 --src=192.168.1.15 \
--cipher=des3_ede --cipher-keyfile=/etc/ipsec/example.key \
--duplex
To create a tunnel you need two SAs, one in each direction. Since it is common to use the same security
settings for both directions, you can create a pair of SAs at one time by using --duplex. Note that it is safer
to supply the key as a file (using --cipher-keyfile) than to specify it on the command line (using
--cipher-key), because it is easy for a local user to locate the key using w or ps.
MCF547x/8x Linux BSP Quick Start, Rev. 0.2
12
Freescale Semiconductor
Setting Up Device Drivers and Modules
To look at the two SAs you just created, run the following:
ipsecadm sa show
Note that the SAs can be used for all IPsec traffic, not only tunnels, but right now only tunnels are
implemented. Also make sure you add the SAs on both hosts. The next step is to create the tunnels. The
commands needed for host A will be shown. Run the following:
ipsecadm tunnel add ipsec1 --local=192.168.1.15 --remote=192.168.1.16
There is no need to specify the SPI. You can if you wish using the --spi option, but if unspecified, the local
and remote addresses will be used to find a suitable SA.
Now we need to set an IP number on the newly created tunnel device, but what should it be? When a packet
is created on a machine, the destination address is used by the routing table to find the outgoing device for
the connection, and the source address is set to the address of the device. If you initiate a connection from
host A to an address on the private network at host B, you probably want the source address of your packets
to be the private address of host A, which is 10.0.0.1:
ifconfig ipsec1 10.0.0.1 up
The last step is to create an entry in the routing table that makes the packets to the private network at host
B go out via the ipsec1 device:
route add ipsec1 10.0.0.2
Do the equivalent on host B and you should be set! Note that you should not generate a new key on host
B, but copy the one you made for host A to host B.
9.6
WLAN Driver
To include the WLAN driver in compilation, the following options should be enabled:
• kernel->general setup->Support for hot-pluggable devices
• Code maturity level options->
— Prompt for development and incomplete code/drivers
• Network device support->Wireless LAN->Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo
• Library routines->Hotplug firmware loading support
• For wireless tools compilation:
System->Network->Wireless-tools->(enable all)
Insert the Wi-Fi card in the PCI slot. Boot the kernel. Type on target console:
/sbin/ifconfig eth2 10.0.0.2
and the LED on the Wi-Fi card should light up. Now you can use the wireless tools to configure the
network.

Adding a New Userland Application to the
Project Without PCS
All paths are given relative to the BSP's folder. This example shows the creation of a ‘hello’ application.
1. Create 'hello' directory in the 'user/' directory.
2. Add configuration variable 'hello' to the ''user/config.in' file:
...
bool 'hello'
CONFIG_USER_HELLO # define the 'hello' variable
...
This adds the ‘hello’ menu option to userland configuration menu.
3. Add following lines to the 'user/Makefile' file:
...
DIRSc$(CONFIG_USER_HELLO)
+= hello
# Add the 'hello' directory
...
ifeq ($(strip $(CONFIG_USER_HELLO)),y)
make -C hello CC=$(shell cat ../cross-compile-prefix)gcc

4. The Makefile in ‘user/hello/’ should look like the following:
EXEC = hello
OBJS = hello.o
CFLAGS += -Wall -O0 -g -mcfv4e
LDFLAGS += -mcfv4e
#LDLIBS += -lpthread
all: $(EXEC)
$(EXEC): $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LDLIBS)
$(OBJS): hello.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c hello.c
clean:
rm -f $(EXEC) *.elf *.gdb *.o

Adding a New Userland Application to the
Project With PCS
All paths are given relative to the project's folder.
1. Go to 'config-data/buildcontrol/board/' and copy one of the .lbc files (e.g.'sh.lbc') to
'config-data/buildcontrol/local' with a new name (e.g. 'hello.lbc'). It will be used as the template.
2. Edit this file (hello.lbc) making corrections to all necessary fields (bld_dir_name, makeb, makei,
pkg_file, etc.). This file is responsible for making and installing the application.
3. Go to 'config-data/ecds/board/' and copy one of the .ecd files (e.g.'sh.ecd') to
'config-data/ecds/local' with a new name (e.g. 'hello.ecd'). It will be used as the template.
4. Edit this file (hello.ecd) making corrections to all necessary fields. This file is responsible for
creating the record in the project's configuration menu and connecting it with the application. It
also defines all the dependencies and requirements for the application.
5. Copy the '.tar.gz' file with your application (e.g. 'hello.tar.gz') to 'packages/local/'.
6. Run PCS. Open the project. You should see you application in the component's list. Enable it and
choose 'Reinstall and Rebuild Current Component' from the menu. It will unpack hello.tar.gz file,
build it and install to romfs if necessary.
For more detailed information about .lbc and .ecd files format, refer to PCS documentation.
NOTE
To debug this application, make sure it is compiled with a ‘-g’ option. This
option can be added either to the application’s Makefile or to the ‘makeb’
section of the ‘hello.lbc’ file.
