Redboot on i386 target

Redboot on i386 target

[Tyler]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install and use redboot on a x86 target, to make some
tests.
But I can't succeed. I have the following erros :

tyler@Starbuck:~/ecos/redboot>ecosconfig new linux redboot
U CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_USE_INTERRUPT_STACK, new inferred value 0
C CYGBLD_BUILD_REDBOOT, "requires" constraint not satisfied: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT
C CYGPRI_REDBOOT_ROM_MONITOR, "requires" constraint not satisfied: CYGSEM_HAL_ROM_MONITOR
tyler@Starbuck:~/ecos/redboot>ecosconfig check
Target: linux
Template: redboot
2 conflict(s):
C CYGBLD_BUILD_REDBOOT, "requires" constraint not satisfied: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT
C CYGPRI_REDBOOT_ROM_MONITOR, "requires" constraint not satisfied: CYGSEM_HAL_ROM_MONITOR

Can I change the linux package configuration and enable the CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT and CYGSEM_HAL_ROM_MONITOR ?

I've found binaries files at http://ecos.sourceware.org/boards/redbootbins/x86pc/
I'm happy with those for now.

But if someone has the answer to my previous question (in the previous post), I'm
still interested.

You are confusing two very different eCos targets: the synthetic
target and the PC target. If you want to use the synthetic target,
i.e. run eCos on top of Linux, then there is no need for a boot
monitor with gdb debug support. Hence RedBoot is not supported.
If instead you want to run eCos on a bare PC then RedBoot can be very
useful.

To configure eCos for a PC target, use:

  ecosconfig new pc <template>

instead of

  ecosconfig new linux <template>
