This is the newest verion of eCos from CVS, I've only
copied to existing directory.

I've tried to step program, but after the step command
debugging hands up. I don't know how to change loading
from RAM to ROM.

I can't use cygwin-bash because cygwin does not
recognize COM ports from windows:
“
(gdb) target remote COM7
get_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
set_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Remote debugging using COM7
get_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
set_tty_state failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
“
or even /dev/ttyS7

Andrew, could you describe me your method of running
and debugging eCos application, maybe I'm able to
reproduce it on my hardware. 
I'd like to ask about configuration of outgoing
messages. Where can I check if the output of prontf
commands is ARM-COM1?

I use Linux, not M$.

I build ROM applications, which for the AT91SAM7 platforms is the
default. I use the toolchain which you can download from the eCos
website.  I use a JTAG device to load the image into the target. The
JTAG device i use understands ELF, so i just give it a URL and the
device grabs the elf file, converts it as necessary, and loads it onto
FLASH. I then use gdb, to connect to the JTAG device in much the same
way as you did. I there use the gdb version you download as part of
the toolchain, or sometimes i use a newer version which i built
myself. I would recommend you use the pre-build version to start with
since it is known to work.

The default configuration of the AT91SAM7SEK is to use the debug port
for I/O.

I have insalled
bu-2.17_gcc-4.2.0-c-c++_nl-1.15.0_gi-6.6.exe from
www.gnuarm.org . Is it enough for eCos build?

[ECOS] eCos and AT91SAM7S-EK

[wavecom wavecom]

Hi,

I'm the beginner eCos user. Now I'm trying to run eCos
on the AT91SAM7S-EK. I've downloaded newest version of
eCos source code and the configtool from cvs. After
setup for AT91 I have successfully compiled eCos libs
with default compilation options except -g option. I
have removed -g option from options to  minimize size
of  kernel.
I wanted to run the “Hello, eCos world!” example, I
have compiled those examples using default Makefile
from /examples directory. Then I have downloaded
result (“examples/hello”) using SAM-BA to the 
AT91SAM7S-EK board. The board was connected to PC via
SERIAL0 and DBGU to PC where I have got 2
hyperterminals (38400 8-n-1 non-flow control). 
I'm expecting to observe “Hello, eCos world!” on one
of the hyperterminals, but after reset there was no
output.

How should I configure or compile the example to run
examples?
How should I download compilation result to board?
Is it possible to change arm-serial port for printf
function?
Is there any tutorial for eCos on AT91SAM7S-EK?

Pete

I've never used SAM-BA, so maybe a dumb question. What exactly did you
download? The elf or a binary image? Where did you download it to?
What address?

In order to do any serious work with the AT91SAM7S devices you are
going to need a JTAG device for both code download and debugging.

Re: [ECOS] eCos and AT91SAM7S-EK

[wavecom wavecom]

Thanks for answer,
SAM-BA is tool provided by Atmel to downloading code
to Atmel arm controllers via USB and others
interfaces. I've downloaded the “hello” (without
extension) file at start address 0x200000. Make
execution on the examples produces 2 files “hello.o”
and “hello”. 
I have got wiggler-jtag interface, but I didn't try it
with the eCos.
