Thanks for your fast reply.
I tried putting GRUB on a pendrive and building eCos with the 'GRUB'
flag in the HAL section. I started from a 'net' template, and I built an
hello world application (prints hello world via printf), linking it to
the generated ecos library.
When I boot the pendrive, GRUB accepts the generated file, but when I
give GRUB the 'boot' command, just a black screen appears (I waited
several minutes).
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks ;)
