[ECOS] problem when launching applications

[ECOS] problem when launching applications

[Stefan Großberger]

hi,

i am new in eCos and just installed eCos on linux and windows NT and
have the same problem with both installations. after creating a
work-tree (using powerpc-eabi and sim) i compiled the example sources
coming with eCos.
this worked without any problem, but if i try to launch the compiled
files i get the following message:

>powerpc-eabi-run hello
core_find_mapping() - access to unmaped address, attach a default map to
handle
this - addr=0xf000101a nr_bytes=0x1 processor=0x2abc3008 cia=0x4478

can you tell me what i did wrong or what is misconfigured?

thx in advance
stefan

This is a valid sim error because eCos is trying to initialise real
hardware.  You need to connect to the simulator  within gdb as follows:

(gdb) target sim -o '/#address-cells 1' -o '/openprom/init/register/pc
0x100' -o '/iobus@0xf0000000/reg 0xf0000000 0x01000000' -o
'/iobus/pal@0xf0001000/reg 0xf0001000 32'

(or even better, set up a macro for this - see
