Oh yes.. I was doing it manually....

Well, i'm not really working on eCos/RedBoot for now... (but still waiting
for the ARM Integrator port ... ) so if anyone can do it ...

The delay has been my fault. I'll stick it up now in
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/ecos/contrib/hal/arm/integrator , but caveat
emptor. I'll update the contrib page and send it a more formal note with
some more details as well.

It looks like Fabrice needs to add make rules to allow redboot.bin (and
probably also redboot.srec) files to be generated, as with other targets.
Fabrice, look at e.g. the CYGBLD_BUILD_REDBOOT_BIN option in the EBSA HAL.
You can probably just copy it and remove the "compile -library" line.

Niky, on the meantime you can do this yourself with objcopy -O binary
redboot.elf redboot.bin

[ECOS] how to use redboot to boot pc

[niky]

Hi,

    I make redboot

    ecosconfig new pc redboot
    ecosconfig tree
    make

    There is just redboot.elf in install/bin
    I copy the file to floppy

    dd conv=sync if=redboot.elf of=/dev/fd0H1440

    and then I use the floppy to boot pc
    but it fail.    
    There is no prompt "RedBoot>" .
    How can I do ?
    Thank for your help.
