EPOS

The Embedded Parallel Operating System (EPOS) project aims at automating the development of embedded systems so that developers can concentrate on what really matters: their applications. EPOS relies on the Application-Driven Embedded System Design (ADESD) method to guide the development of both software and hardware components that can be automatically adapted to fulfill the requirements of particular applications. EPOS features a set of tools to support developers in selecting, configuring, and plugging components into its application-specific framework. The combination of methodology, components, frameworks, and tools enable the automatic generation of an application-specific embedded system instances.

Getting Started

Check the Setting up EPOS section of the manual.

Prerequisites

• Cross-compilers for the target architecture you intend to use.

  Fedora packs compilers for x86 that can be installed with dnf install binutils-x86_64-linux-gnu gcc-c++-x86_64-linux-gnu and ARM compilers that can be installed with: dnf install arm-none-eabi-binutils-cs arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs-c++ arm-none-eabi-newlib.

  On ubuntu 18.04 the x86 packs can be installed with apt install binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu, and ARM compilers can be installed with apt install binutils-arm-none-eabi gcc-arm-none-eabi. Make sure your ubuntu has the make package already installed.

• 32-bit development libs (if your development platform is 64-bit)

  For fedora: dnf install libc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 libstdc++-devel zlib.i686

  For ubuntu 18.04: apt install lib32stdc++6 libc6-i386 libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 libbz2-1.0:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib

• Intel 8086 tools (to compile the bootstrap, only if you intend to use x86)

  For fedora: dnf install dev86

  For ubuntu: apt install bin86

Installing

Simply extract the tarball or clone the repository in a convenient location for you. EPOS is fully self-contained.

Building

Go into the directory where you extracted EPOS and issue a make all to have instances of EPOS built for each of the applications in the app directory.

You can also built for specific applications using make APPLICATION=<app>, where <app> is a subdir of app.

Running

After building an application-oriented instance of EPOS, you can run the application with the tailored EPOS on QEMU using: make APPLICATION=<app> run
