Is there an error during the toolchain installation process or does the toolchain not execute under Cygwin 1.7.x? What error message are you observing? Assuming that the toolchain does not execute, and given your objective of minimising change, I would suggest attempting to build the arm-elf 2.95 toolchain under Cygwin 1.7.x. That would deliver generated eCos application code identical to what you have been generating under Win2k. The (very old) instructions for building the arm-elf 2.95 toolchain for eCos under Cygwin are at: http://ecos.sourceware.org/tools/win-arm-elf.html If you attempt to use a much more recent arm-elf toolchain to built eCos 1.3.1 sources, you will find quite a number of source code issues to work through. I hope this helps...
