ECE391 Auto Setup For Mac Users

Donation: (●'◡'●)ﾉ♥Buy us some DailyByte : Venmo tk5_uiuc

or search tk5_uiuc on your Venmo App.

NOTE: Due to the update of swift, new cowhacker may not work on your machine (with Xcode 6). Check the release to find the compatible one.

NOTE: This setup will help you install Qemu 1.5, which is an old & buggy version. However Qemu 1.5 is officially used by ECE391, so you may want to not update it and use this Qemu instead of Qemu from brew. To overwrite all Qemu 1.5 setting for your Final Extra, do brew install qemu & brew link --overwrite qemu

We are going to rewrite this proj by Go for better compatibility.

This is a repo created for ece391, since officially there is no setup guide provided for OS X.

Fully tested on OS X 10.10 :)

For OS X 10.11 User, please make under cowhacker and then move cowhacker/bin/macosx/*/cowhacker{the one you just compiled} under cowhacker/

Usage

cd ~
git clone "https://github.com/TakefiveInteractive/ece391ForMac.git"

then run

cd ece391ForMac
./start

then you can use the command ece391.dev to start the dev machine; ece391.test to start the test machine;

if you prefer to use your default terminal or iTerm, you can then use ece391.sshafter your dev machine successfully boot.

It you've down with your setting or MP, you can then run

./sync

under ~/ece391ForMac dir

Sync will push the recent modified files to other machine, and you can control the direction.

NOTE: This functionality is deprecated. Though it works, it takes really really long. Make sure you're using campus network. In most cases you will not need it, but if you messed up your lab machine, and don't want to redo MP0~, try this.

You can use ./mount391 and ./unmount391 for shortcuts for mounting Shared Volumes :)

Tux Controller

We would recommend doing this particular MP in the lab, but we do have a solution to connect Tux to Mac.

Open up the first terminal and launch:

socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/ece391socket,fork /dev/tty.usbserial-ECE391,raw,echo=0,ispeed=9600,ospeed=9600,clocal=1,cs8,nonblock=1,ixoff=0,ixon=0,crtscts=0

Open up the second terminal, launch qemu with this extra parameter:

-serial unix:/tmp/ece391socket

e.g. :

find & edit your shortcut command for launch Qemu,

vi (which ece391.test)

Then add the extra parameter, then it should looks like:

#!/bin/bash
qemu-system-i386 -hda ~/ece391ForMac/ece391/work/vm/test.qcow -net nic -net user,smb=/Users/YOURNAME/ece391ForMac/ece391/work -no-kvm -m 512 -gdb tcp:127.0.0.1:1234 -name test -serial unix:/tmp/ece391socket
