RE: [ECOS] Anybody made user command shell program on eCos ?

[Nixon, Roger]

I suspect that Tony is after a console that would allow execution of
commands (i.e. function calls) from a console thread / spawned thread
(within the eCos application) to examine / manipulate the state of the
running system (other threads).

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?

He could try FICL ...

If you just want a non-threaded test application that does a function call
in response to your typing, I'd suggest using RedBoot - it can run in RAM,
and it is designed to be extensible in many ways including the command
list.

But if you want something threaded and which waits for serial input
asynchronously and the like, so that other threads can run freely, then...

Not AFIAK; that would be a far more sophisticated application.

[ECOS] Anybody made user command shell program on eCos ?

[Tony Ko]

Hi.
I ported MBX860 eCos to my custom mpc860 board.
Do you by any chance have user command shell program running on eCos?

thanks.
