[ECOS] ethernet driver + file system support

[ECOS] ethernet driver + file system support

[Vipin Mehta]

Hi guys,
     Well, I was going through the documentation looking for the 
availablity of certain features. One of them being the support for 
ethernet driver for "Intel EBSA-285 + EtherPRO 10/100+" The document 
says that following ethernet drivers are currently provided:
- Motorola PowerPC MBX/860
- Cirrus Logic EDB72xx, based on the Crystal CS8900
- Socket Communications Low Power Compact Flash Ethernet adaptor
- Intel EBSA-285 + EtherPRO 10/100+
I could find the first two in the net-1.0b1.epk. Then there was this 
mention of ne2000 Ethernet driver x86 port in the third party 
contributions. This is, I guess, different from the EtherPRO one. What I 
want to know is that does anyone know of the EtherPRO ethernet driver port.

My second doubt is related to the file system support on ecos. If yes 
then what kind of file system is supported. Also if there is any memory 
component which we can read from or write to. I mean FLASH or any such 
thing.
guys, please help me out.

regards,
vipin

Make sure you read the right documentation of the right release.

Yes, it exists. I don't think its part of 1.3.1 and the net
package. That code is now very old. You want to get the code from the
CVS. That is up to date, as in Friday, and has the drivers you want,
plus lots of bug fixes to the steck etc.

There are driver code for flash. Again, its in the CVS.
