Hi Anita,

I have not been able to get the config tool to install the .epk. I think it 
is something to do with mount points being in text mode.

If I manually mv net-1.0b1.epk net.tar.gz then gunzip net.tar.gz then tar 
xvf net.tar, I get the source tree, so the file itself is OK. I think it 
will probably work if I copy the sources into the ecos sources directory 
and append the package.db or whatever it is to the existing db file.

I don't have a very high level of confidence that any of this is going to 
actually work, however, because I don't 100% trust that I have the 
toolchain built correctly (the instructions on sources.redhat.com are 
simply wrong for ARM Thumb and so the tools I have are for regular ARM 
without thumb). I'm still waiting for my eval board to arrive, so I'm 
sitting on my hands not able to do very much. Pretty well guaranteed I am 
going to miss prototype deadline now, which means nowhere near as much 2001 
CES exposure :(

Not very happy right now :(

Surely there is someone else in the universe using eCOS on Cirrus Logic 
ARM7T platform?

Hmm.... that's interesting and entirely possible. Can anyone confirm?

I thought I had updated the instructions?

Yes  I did (if you refer to the "mount c: c/" command).

Indeed so. Things could be a lot easier if we didn't have to support NT
users editting eCos source files with editors that don't support LFs
without CRs (like Notepad!).

But we mustn't forget the possibility that your problem is because of some
quirk with win 98. Your problem is not a commonly reported one. So I want
to find out the actual cause if possible.

Isn't there another issue here, the virtual path given by the config tool 
when it accesses the files?

On my system, the mounts are something like
/ C:\CYGWIN binmode
/c c:\ textmode  <<<---- for sources

So if I put my epk in / (according to cygwin), then the config tool will be 
accessing it in binary mode if it uses /net-1.0b1.epk or in text mode if it 
uses /c/cygwin/net-1.0b1.epk.

Confusing! Or do I misunderstand how cygwin works with conflicts like this?

Do you know whether you saved it in a location that is mounted in cygwin as
type "text"?

I had no problem downloading net-1.0b1.epk from Red Hat site,
opening it with the windows ecos package manager, adding and compiling
it with the eCos configurator, and compiling the accompanying tests.
I didn't run the tests yet although...
My host is Win95, and I use the regular ARM toolchain (no thumb).

[ECOS] net-1.0b1.epk is corrupt?

[Lewin A.R.W. Edwards]

Has anyone managed to install the TCP/IP stack? I've downloaded the file a 
couple of times now, but when I try to install it, I get a message box with 
the following:

extracting pkgadd.db:
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Skipping to next file header
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Skipping to next file header
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Skipping to next file header
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Skipping to next file header
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Skipping to next file header
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Archive - EOF not on block boundary
/usr/bin/tar.exe: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Has anyone got these errors before? I'm using the graphical configuration 
tool for Win32.
