Subject: Re[2]: [ECOS] building redboot with eCos eernel
Date: Sat, 22 May 2004 22:52:00 -0000	[thread overview]

Hello, Nick.

I wanted to use FAT with CompactFlash driver for updating the main
program(based on eCos kernel) from CF card. Probably I will be able to
implement FAT driver+high level disk driver+CF driver in read-only mode for
doing that.

Thanks a lot.
