Is something like that available?

RedBoot contains a command line for flash management and configuration parameters and the like. But there is no user command shell program running on eCos, because we don't really know what you mean by that. eCos applications are fully linked, so the concept of "starting another program" (such as "ls" or "cat") has no meaning. There can be only one eCos application running at one time, so you cannot load a 2nd program to "do" your shell command. Any commands that a shell would accept must be predefined within the application. What commands would you expect a command shell program running on eCos to accept? - Huge --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted in this e-mail is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
