RE: [ECOS] RedBoot, Ethernet, MBX860

[Anthony Massa <amassa@logici.com>]

After adding the patches and then rebuilding my eCos image, the Ethernet
seems to be working properly.  I get through the quicc_eth_init routine and
then I see the output for the DHCP code that correctly receives an IP
address from my DHCP server.

However, the code always seems to fail at the cyg_libc_time_getzoneoffsets
routine in time.inl.  I get an Illegal Instruction dialog box that pops up
in Insight.  After I dismiss the dialog box the code is stopped and will not
continue to run.

Do you know where this is called from?

Do you know why it might be failing?  Do I need real-time clock support on
my MBX board?

I have seen the $ strings below as well when running from RedBoot.  I have
been using GDB/Insight to download and run my code.  I haven't been running
just using RedBoot.  It seems as though there is some confusion as to
whether the Ethernet port or serial port is to be used for debugging.

Thanks for the help.
