RE: [ECOS] forwarded message from Simpkins, Andy

["Simpkins, Andy" <Andy.Simpkins@Transcomm.uk.com>]

Configuration of the system
	Target Platform : Custom board (ARM7TDMI core)
	Development Host: Windows NT 4 sp6, cygwin, eCos 1.3.1, GCC 2.95.2
	
This is the current test file I am using:

main.cpp (entire file)

	/* INCLUDES */
	
	#include <stdio.h>                      /* printf */
	#include <string.h>                     /* strlen */
	#include <cyg/kernel/kapi.h>            /* All the kernel specific
stuff */
	#include <cyg/io/io.h>                  /* I/O functions */
	#include <cyg/hal/hal_arch.h>           /*
CYGNUM_HAL_STACK_SIZE_TYPICAL */
	#include <cyg/infra/diag.h>             /* diag_printf */
	#include <cyg/hal/t3.h>                 /* LED Control */
	#include <stdlib.h>
	
	
	void __attribute__ ((section (".2ram.flash_query"), long_call))
flash_query(void)
	{
	   for (int i=0; i < 0xffff; i++);
	}
	
	
	extern "C" int main(void)
	{   
	   flash_query();
	 
	   return 0;
	}

the build process (with errors returned)

	$ cd /z/TMCB/Build/ARM/eCos/app/testFLASH
	$ rm *.o
	$ arm-elf-gcc -c -I /i/eCOSbuilds/a161_install/include/

and to round things off the mods to arm.ld (extract) as suggested by
Jesper...
