Install on Via Board with Eden CPU fail
« on: May 06, 2010, 09:50:11 am »
There is a problem installing Lazarus on this Board. (Via SP13000 with 1 GB RAM)

The system runs stabil no crashes at all.

Because there is no fpc in Debian Lenny I download a binary an the source from FPC. The I temporarily activate FPC to build FPC from source. While building the FPC the complete system freez. No life sighn anymore.
It freeze all the time in the same line. Is there some hint for me what make switch or something to create some build debug output so I could post it to the fpc bugtracker ?

Could it be the those Via CPU are incompatibel in some way ?

This is in prinzipal what I do :
Code: [Select]
#downloading the binary 4 the platform 4 building fpc from source
cd $HOME
mkdir $HOME/fpc
mkdir $HOME/fpc/download
cd $HOME/fpc/download
wget ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v23/i386-linux/fpc-2.3.1.i386-linux.tar.gz
mkdir $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin
cd $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin
tar -xzvf ~/fpc/download/fpc-2.3.1.i386-linux.tar.gz
cd $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin/bin
#exit
#ln -s $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin/lib/fpc/2.3.1/ppcppc ppcppc
##cd $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin/lib/fpc/2.3.1
##./samplecfg $HOME/fpc/fpc_bin/bin $HOME
export PATH=$HOME/fpc/fpc_bin/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home/martin/fpc/fpc_bin/lib/fpc/2.3.1/:$PATH
#now the the downloaded fpc bin should be ready for use
#********************************************************
# checkout fpc from svn
#this should checkout fpc 2.3.x from svn
#Download Daily Source Snapshot of Development Tree (trunk)
#You can download todays development (trunk - currently v2.3.x)
# http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html
#********************************************************
cd ~/development
svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk ./fpc/svn
cd ./fpc/svn
make clean all

I don't think the CPU is the problem. In my experience it might be the VIAboard and especially the memory itself. At my work we have had some troubles with the EK series. It looks like the SP series are form before that.
From the 25 devices we build, the ones with a DDR333/512MB kingston memory module were the most stable. DDR400 or 1GB in most cases worked too. Dane, Corsair, Geil, and another brand i cannot remember all failed sooner or later with exactly what you describe, a complete system freeze. Even a kernel debugger didn't give a hint.
