[ECOS] eCos on V4FX12

[ECOS] eCos on V4FX12

[Glenn Heart]

I am trying to get eCos running on a Xilinx V4 FX12 FPGA using the
PPC.  I am using the MiniModule from Avnet/Memec (
http://www.em.avnet.com/evk/home/0,1719,RID%253D0%2526CID%253D25726%2526CCD%253DUSA%2526SID%253D32214%2526DID%253DDF2%2526SRT%253D1%2526LID%253D32232%2526PRT%253D0%2526PVW%253D%2526BID%253DDF2%2526CTP%253DEVK,00.html
)

Following the instructions I was able to compile eCos pretty easily.
I only used the console and ethernet.  Running eCos on the FPGA seemed
to work.  The console showed:


+No network interfaces found

RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROMRAM]
Non-certified release, version UNKNOWN - built 22:40:21, Feb 18 2007

Platform: XILINX VIRTEX4 (PowerPC 405)
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Red Hat, Inc.

RAM: 0x00000000-0x04000000, [0x000261d8-0x04000000] available
RedBoot>


I was then ready to input commands on the console and found the system
was locked up.  Anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Glenn

Talk to Mind &/or Xilinx - this code is not in the public
repository.

Do you have more than 1 possible console? In particular is there another 
serial port compiled in that may be open circuited? I found that once 
Redboot "picks" which console is the one its going to use any other 
consoles go dead.

Check your ecos.ecc to see that there is only 1 possible console and you 
then be sure to be connected to that one ;-)

Hello Guy,

I am not sure that you understand what is really eCos. In your presentation
you were talkink about RedBoot which is only a boot loader from Red Hat.

You can find more info at www.codexchangers.com/ecos/html

Were are your source for V4?
