[ECOS] Building redboot with eCos Kernel

[ECOS] Building redboot with eCos Kernel

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi,

Is it accepted to include the ecos kernel in a redboot image? I am working on some existing code for my company and when the kernel is included in the boot we have trouble debugging. What happens, is when we connect using gdm the application gets sent, but stalls. The serial connection then stalls and then timesout.

Any idea?

Andre

No, I don't think so.  At least I've never heard of that being
done, and based on what I know of things I don't think it can
work.  Redboot is purely a "mainloop" type polling application,
and the the eCos kernel requires interrupts be enabled.

What are you trying to accomplish by including the eCos Kernel
in RedBoot?

Hi,

I pretty much figured that was the case. I'll have to find if
anyone in my company can tell me what it is doing there.

Thanks for the help.
