[ECOS] redboot scripting additions

[ECOS] redboot scripting additions

[Andrew Dyer]

Hi, I am interested in adding some things to redboot's command line processing
to allow a bit more flexibility in scripting  - specifically in
allowing a user to
choose between several linux images to boot without having to know the redboot
syntax for load or the kernel command line syntax for exec.

I think the basics I need are an echo type command to print stuff, a way of
grabbing user CLI input into a variable, a basic set of tests, and some kind
of conditional execution.

Has anybody implemented something like this for redboot?  I don't really
want/need a full blown extension language, at the same time I don't want
to paint myself into a corner...

We use aliases for this here.  i.e., the bootscript looks something like

mount -t jffs2 -f filesystem
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} %{zimage}
exec -c %{cmdline}

with appropriate aliases:

alias zimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-blah-blah
alias cmdline "\"console=ttyS0,115200 etc. etc.\""

[ECOS] Configtool Missing

[Steve West]

I just upgraded my Ecos 1.0 to the latest rev. I built the code on a Linux 
box. All installed fine, but I do not have a Configtool. I have it in Ecos 
1.0. How do I build a Configtool?

I don't know how to build the configtool, but in the prebuild-downloads it's 
included.
That can you use for the current - version !!

Hello

I have executed procedure for Linux build "Building for Linux/GTK+" at
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml

At last step "Build and install the eCos Configuration Tool" compilation
stopped with following error:

- error msg begin --------------------------------

Is it an error in declaration so?

Ups, I have to correct myself. This site only has the M$ version.

If you want to build it from source there are instructions
there. However it is not easy.

It should also be included in 
ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/releases/ecos-2.0/ecos-2.0.i386linux.tar.bz2

but that version is a little out of date and might have problems with
PTYs on some systems.

The configtool is not easy to build, needs special ancient libraries
etc. So it is generally not built as part of the normal build.

You can download it from 
http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/configtool.shtml
