Are they treated in some special way by the linker, or are they just taking advantage of some alphanumeric ordering performed by the linker to become efectyvely the begining and end of each table? - The CYGMEM_REGION_pci_window, seems to have been defined just to provide a memory pool for the ethernet driver ring buffers. Is there any reason why that was designed that way so different than the others? - Do anyone know about some problems with some particular drivers if trying to integrate them the same way the ethernet drivers were wrapped into RedBoot? Regards. David
