Where is Embedspu

[cpeckham]

I can't find embedspu on YDL 6.0.

My assumption was that it was installed as part of the install but I can not find it. Libraries are there and both SPU and PPC compilers are working.

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Clarence

On my system it's located in /usr/bin and called ppu-embedspu:

Code: Select all

[bill@localhost ~]$ locate embedspu
/usr/bin/ppu-embedspu
/usr/bin/ppu32-embedspu

I'm not sure what provides the two scripts, though ... yum whatprovides ppu-embedspu didn't turn up anything. Not sure if they're included with YDL 6 or if I got them from installing IBM Cell SDK ... I can post them for you, if needed.

Bill,

On my system after a fresh install of YDL 6.0 PPU-embedspu is not there so I would appreciate a listing of the shell scripts.

Thanks,

clarence

You need to install ppu-binutils and probably spu-binutils:

Code: Select all

yum install ppu-binutils spu-binutils

(both are included in yellowdog-base -- one of the default repos)

And if what you're trying to compile is looking for embedspu instead of ppu-embedspu, you might need to specify the location for it, rename it, or create a dynamic link for embedspu to ppu-embedspu. Also, you might want to look at the contents of ppu32-embedspu to see what it's doing -- basically running ppu-embedspu with -m32 specified.

Ok I got it running and now the distance sample works fine.

Have you tried the 3.1 SDK yet???

Thanks for the help.

Good -- and no, I haven't tried the 3.1 SDK. Another user mentions installing it in this post:

I am having some difficulty with this same example. I am up to the part where you have to compile the spe program and the ppu program together (The step before you run the program) and I get this:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost Desktop]# ppu-gcc ppe_distance.c spe_distance_csf.o -lspe -o cheese
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:352,
                 from /usr/include/stdio.h:28,

ppe_distance.c:27: error: expected ';' before 'spe_id'

Am I using the wrong compiler or something?


Thank you! ^_^
