What final executable? eCos comes in two parts - the kernel (library) and your application. You need to build an application using the library you've configured and built. Have you read the "Getting Started" section of the online documentation? It goes through this using the sample applications (in the .../examples directory of the eCos sources). You could also look at: http://www.mlbassoc.com/examples/build_hello.html but it uses the command line configuration tool (I seldom use the GUI). The principles are the same though. Don't forget that to run a program on your x86 processor, you'll need some way of loading it - from FLOPPY or via RedBoot or GRUB. You'll also need to set the startup type appropriately. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
