[ECOS] Red Hat eCos and RedBoot news

[Jonathan Larmour]

Again Red Hat and the eCos community have been working hard to deliver more
new ports and features to eCos and RedBoot. Here's a highlight of some
exciting new functionality we've added recently:

o eCos and RedBoot ported to the Compaq iPAQ PocketPC. Try out
  our eCos Microwindows demo for the iPAQ at
  http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/ipaq/ ! Support includes
  keypad, touch screen, watchdog, FLASH, PCMCIA and Compact
  Flash drivers. RedBoot includes support for booting ARM Linux.
  Derived from an initial port by Richard Panton of 3G Lab and
  enhanced significantly by Red Hat. 

o eCos/RedBoot port to the ARM Evaluator-7T. Currently beta quality. 

o eCos/RedBoot port to QED RM7000 Ocelot, including PCI, ethernet and
  FLASH support.

o RedBoot ported to the MIPS Atlas eval board with MIPS32 4Kc or
  MIPS64 5Kc processor modules, including PCI, serial, ethernet and
  FLASH drivers. 

o RedBoot support for ARM PID/EPI Dev7/EPI Dev9 targets. 

o Port added to the Cosmo CEB-V850/SB1 

o Compressed image support has been added to RedBoot 

o ROM based file system support has been added, contributed by
  Richard Panton of 3G Lab. 

o Generic FLASH drivers added for Intel FlashFile 28Fxxx,
  AMD AM29xxxxx, Atmel AT29C040 and Intel StrataFLASH 

o Watchdog driver for Intel SA11x0 StrongARM added.

Red Hat is exhibiting at the Embedded Systems Conference San Francisco,
from Tuesday April 10th to Thursday April 12th inclusive. Come and see us
demo RedBoot, eCos, and Embedded Linux on stand 2110! Visit
http://www.esconline.com/sf/ for more details about the show.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

We've given parts of the eCos net site - http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/ -
a new look, particularly the Supported Hardware section, and we've added a
new area dedicated to RedBoot at http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/
Let us know what you think!

Hi Thomas,

see this, are you ready to deploy a working SW environment once you
may announce your MIPS engine?

Hi Jonathan,

A few months ago I ported eCos to the TriMedia TM1300
(www.trimedia.com), and I would like to publish the 
results on your website.

The problem is, however, that we maintain an ANSI SDE for 
our TriMedia processors, and this SDE does not support 
the gcc extensions; therefore I had to make
a few patches in the directories that actually should not 
have been touched during porting. Most of these patches are
in the build files. See also the attached port log for getting 
an idea on what I changed. I have also attached the complete 
ported source base for further reference.

Do you have any suggestion on how to handle such a non-gcc port?

Thanks,

Juul VanderSpek,

Hi Juul

Did you realize that you were posting a 16MB attachment file to a public
mailing list!!!!!! I suppose this was by mistake.

You should NEVER NEVER post attachment of that size to maling lists.
There are a lot of people without highspeed internet connections out
there. Some of them may not be able to use IMAP and will have to
download all your 16MB file even if they are not interessted in.


Sidenot to the guys at Redhat: Can't you configure your mailinglist
server to reject messages with attachments larger than say some 10 kB.


Greetings,
 Christian

We have tried to expunge the message from the mail system before it got
sent to everyone. Indeed, I haven't even received it myself, and now I
never will.

Juul, I will e-mail you privately about potentiall getting the file to Red
Hat so we can make it available for FTP if you like. In the meantime, you
may want to e-mail to the list the text of your message, without the
attachment.

10Kb seems a bit low. But even the list maintainers thought there was some
limit. It seems it was missed as an oversight, and is obviously going to be
corrected.

[Dan Conti]

just in case someone else hasn't already informed you, it's considered
really poor etiquette to send 15mb attachments to a mailing list.

You're some kind of clown.  What made you think the whole list needed to receive
16mb worth
of irrelevent source code?
If you accidentally sent it to the ecos list then that's forgivable but be more
careful next time.
If you deliberately sent a 16 mb attachment with the hope the the ecos community
would be
interested in taking a look at your problem, then you were sorely mistaken.
I just waited a few hours for my email to come down thanks to your massive
attachment.  THINK.

cheers,
            Jeff

Hi Chris,

This was indeed a mistake; I intended to send it to 
Jonathan only but seem to have had a temporary brain 
outage. My apologies to everyone who was hurt by this.
