CoDeSys V3 Linux - E

CoDeSys V3 can run on Linux systems using x86, ARM, and PowerPC processors. Real-time capabilities require using the preempt_rt patch from OSADL, which must be adapted to specific hardware. Memory requirements for runtime are typically at least 32MB RAM and 64MB storage. Supported fieldbuses include EtherCAT, Sercos III, Profibus, and Profinet using compatible hardware and stacks. Debugging non-x86 targets requires a GDB server. PTXdist and custom Linux distributions can provide small, reproducible embedded Linux systems.

CoDeSys V3 Overview Linux

CoDeSys V3 Linux Runtime Overview


CPU for the CoDeSys Linux Runtime:
The processors x86, ARM and PowerPC are supported.

Linux without Realtime:


Basically any distribution can be used. A customized Linux is necessary for embedded systems. Additional libraries for example for PCI bus support or PCAP for Ethernet are also required. All libraries are open source.

Linux with Realtime:


CoDeSys V3 under Linux with realtime properties can only be used with the realtime kernel Preempt_rt patch from the OSADL organisation. RT Linux, RTAI Linux and Xenomai are not supported! The OSADL realime kernel is free of charge but it must be adapted to the particular hardware. Such an adaption is offered for example by Linutronix, Pengutronix or Denx. 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH does not offer said adaptation service! Before starting a project the hardware to be used should be considered suitable by the company who is to perform the adaptation!

Memory Requirements:
Remanent Memory (Hard disk, Flash):
# # # # #

Minimal: 16 MB (smaller on demand) Typical: 64 MB for runtime code: minimal 1MB for boot project and/or IEC program code: rest QT for target visualisation: 10MB (platform dependent) - smaller versions are possible with QT adaptions done by the Linux service companies.

RAM:
# # # #

Minimal: 3 MB (minimal project) Typical: 32 MB WithTarget visualisation: 64 MB (minimum recommendation) for example: Targetvisu on ARM: 4,5 MB (minimal project)

Supported Fieldbuses / Fieldbus cards:


# # # # # #

Retain Memory (NVRAM, SRAM):


# #

Typical: (any desired) kB For IEC-Program Data type RETAIN and RETAIN PERSISTENT

EtherCAT with 3S configurator und 3S stack Sercos III Master (in development) Profibus Master (Hilscher EC1 or netX) with 3S configurator and Hilscher stack (released soon) Profinet Master (Hilscher netX) with 3S configurator and Hilscher stack CANopen Master (only with SocketCAN - Open Source driver for Philips SJA1000 Chip) others on demand

Important for CoDeSys: There must be a debugger!


Debugger for ARM or PowerPC over GDB Server with thread-support! Debugging on the x86 platform is normally no problem. More information: Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code: Http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ What is the best way to build a Linux distribution for an embedded system in a reproducable way,caring about long term maintenance and small footprint? PTXdist is a GPL licensed build system for userlands, started by Pengutronix. It uses the Kconfig configuration system from the Linux kernel. Although PTXdist (without patches) still fits on one disc, a whole root filesystem can be built as easy as "ptxdist go": Http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/index_en. html
