[ECOS] Getting EB40a up and running

[ECOS] Getting EB40a up and running

[Øyvind Harboe]

 I'm trying to get EB40a up and running.



Here is the error message I get:


$ ecosconfig new eb40a redboot
Hardware selection: warning
    The target specification lists a package `CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_EB40A' which is
not present in the component repository.
Hardware selection: warning
    The target specification lists a package `CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_ATMEL_AT49XXXX'
which is not present in the component repository.
U CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR, new inferred value 0



Here are the steps I took to try to get things lined up properly:

- CygWin on W2K
- installed ecosconfig per instructions in http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/getstart.html
- tried to follow the instructions in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-01/msg00125.html
- used emacs ediff-files to copy over those changes in ecos.db that related to anything AT91
- copied the at91/* files into the ecos installation

oharboe@lair ~/ecos-install/ecos/ecos-2.0b1/packages/hal/arm/at91
$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+   3 oharboe  None            0 May  7 13:52 eb40

drwxr-xr-x+   3 oharboe  None            0 May  7 13:52 var

- created a temporary directory and tried "ecosconfig new eb40a redboot"
from within that directory

This is because the EB40A is not currently part of the repository. If
you are using the patches that have been posted here, then you need to
both apply the patch and unpack the new HAL packages for it to work.

However, I have been working on the EBxx HALs recently, getting all
the patches reconciled and stable. I nearly have them in a suitable
state for adding to the repository. I currently have EB40, EB40A, EB42
and EB55 platforms running. So, if you want to wait a few days, all
your problems should soon be solved :-)

Looking forward to it!

Where do I look for the "announcement"?

[ECOS] Getting EB40a up and running

[Øyvind Harboe]

After some fiddling around, I got things to compile.


- ecosconfig import .../redboot_RAM.ecm had errors...
- Added missing flash files http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-patches/2002-07/msg00036.html
- Fixed problems with angel http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-03/msg00331.html. 
I found that the values I expected to find in the files were different from those listen in 
the e-mail.


Weee!!!! 




I was able to get redboot running from RAM. Ctrl-z did not susped
arm-elf-gdb, but I just killed the CygWin shell, and started a 
38400-8-N-1 session and it worked(output from my Redboot up n' running):


RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [RAM]
Non-certified release, version v2_0b1 - built 15:57:32, May  7 2003



Tomorrow will be an exciting day!
