[ECOS] simple question regarding hello.c world and Redboot

[Stephen Polkowski]

Hello,

	I'm having difficulty in getting a simple application like hello.c to 
run with Redboot on the pc.  When I run hello from GDB I don't see any 
printfs on the screen.  I'm stumped as to my mistake.

	My simple question is should I compile my hello.c application against 
the Redboot build tree or the generic pc build tree?  I assume
that I should be building it against the generic pc tree.

	When I try to build the hello.c app against the redboot tree
it fails because printf function isn't in the library.

hello.c:6: warning: implicit declaration of function 'printf'
hello.c:6: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in 
function 'printf'
i386-elf-gcc -L/home/users/stephen/ecos/redboot_i82559/install/lib 
-nostartfiles -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--Map -Wl,hello.map -o hello hello.o 
-Ttarget.ld -nostdlib
/home/users/stephen/ecos/redboot_i82559/install/lib/libtarget.a(redboot_main.o): 
In function `cyg_start':
/opt/ecos/ecos/packages/redboot/current/src/main.c:264: undefined 
reference to `RedBoot_version'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

	Therefore, I've been building hello.c with the pc_i82559 tree.
Everything compiles just fine, except I don't see any printfs on the screen.

ecosconfig new pc_i82559
ecosconfig check
ecosconfig tree
make

cd app
make
i386-elf-gcc -c -o hello.o -g 
-I/home/users/stephen/ecos/pc_i82559/install/include -Wall 
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections hello.c
i386-elf-gcc -L/home/users/stephen/ecos/pc_i82559/install/lib 
-nostartfiles -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--Map -Wl,hello.map -o hello hello.o 
-Ttarget.ld -nostdlib

gdb hello
(gdb) target remote 10.40.200.22:9000
Remote debugging using 10.40.200.22:9000

Transfer rate: 381784 bits/sec, 499 bytes/write.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.


	I realize that the default pc_i82559 build disables rom monitor support 
and I've been fiddling with different settings but I haven't got it 
figured out.

	Could someone share the obvious configuration for enabling Redboot gdb 
support to a basic hello.c app for the pc_i82559 build?  I'm shocked 
that I can't figure this one out.

Thanks for your help,

Stephen

By default the output comes out the serial port. Check COM1.
