Hardware packages should be part of the basic target template:

target h8max {
        alias           { "H8MAX" }
        packages        { CYGPKG_HAL_H8300
                          CYGPKG_HAL_H8300_H8300H
                          CYGPKG_HAL_H8300_H8300H_H8MAX
                          CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_H8300_SCI
                          CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_H8300_H8MAX
                          CYGPKG_DEVICES_WATCHDOG_H8300_H8300H
        }
        description "
           The h8max target provides the packages need to run
           eCos in the strawberry-linux.com H8MAX board."
}
