File I/O Support for ORPSoC #80

Closed psrawke closed 9 years ago

psrawke commented 9 years ago

Does ORPSoC support file I/O operations? Also, can we write code in c++ instead of c as there are many libraries available for data types like lists, matrix in c++?

The OpenRISC tool chain has had full C++ support for both bare metal and Linux applications since GCC 4.5.

File I/O is a property of your hardware implementation. What FPGA board are you using. I believe they all have at least UART support. Some I believe may have SD card support.

Hi,

ORPSoC is just the hardware platform. If the hardware has somewhere to store files (for example an SD card as Jeremy suggested), then there are no problems. Even if you don't have any non-volatile storage on the board, you can use file operations against the RAM or against a network mounted disk if you have an ethernet connection.
