[ECOS] How to add a new item in redboot config ?

[thierry]

Hi Ecos People,

Could someone give me the tip about how to add a new item in this list:

RedBoot> fconfig -l
Run script at boot: true
...
Default network device: npe_eth0
Network hardware address [MAC] for NPE eth0: 0x00:0x03:0x47:0xDF:0x32:0xA8
Network hardware address [MAC] for NPE eth1: 0x00:0x03:0x47:0xDF:0x32:0xAA
RedBoot>

More precisely, i would like to add two new Network hardware address items.

Thanks,

Thierry L.

This is done using the 'RedBoot_config_option()' macro.

Look at how the NPE driver does it for the ones you have to see how it is done.

Note: 'fconfig' works a little "strange" in that it only shows you what entries
are in the actual FLASH configuration.  If you add a new item, then you'll need
to rerun 'fconfig -i' to get it into the FLASH database.

A good place to start would be to look at how the existing ones were
created. Look in if_npe.c for:

RedBoot_config_option("Network hardware address [MAC] for NPE eth0",
                      npe_eth0_esa,
                      ALWAYS_ENABLED, true,
                      CONFIG_ESA, npe_eth0_priv_data.mac_address
    );
