[ECOS] Redboot building issue

[ECOS] Redboot building issue

[Syed Ismail]

Hi
  I am trying to build redboot for freescale based mx31 ads platform. I am  able to build it using arm-elf toolchain provided by ecos. I havent tested it as yet for fear of crashing. I would like to know if it is necessary to build it using the toolchain provided by freescale only(this doesnt build).
                                 Ismail

Yes, this should work just fine.

Which tools from FreeScale are you using?  Why/how does it fail?

Please keep your replies on the mailing list so that all may benefit.

eCos [probably] won't work if you compile using those tools - you are
better off with the arm-elf tools that you used.
