RE: [ECOS] Help! on building ecosconfigure

["Narayana, Venkat A." <NarayVA@nsc-msg01.network.com>]

Hi,
I have cross-compiled gcc/ld/nm/objcopy/ar/as for 'arm-elf'( i already have
these for 'arm-linux'). And, after that, when i tried to compile redboot for
ROM startup( in accordance with page23 of Redboot User's guide), i am still
getting this error.
Is 'xscale-elf' a different format? Can't i use 'arm-elf' or 'arm-linux' in
lieu
of 'xscale-elf'?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Venkat N

Hi,
I compiled ecosconfig, and tried to build redboot for ROM startup,
whence i got these errors:

No, ecosconfig is purely a host-side tool. It has no knowledge of
particular targets. Using the prebuilt ones built for Linux and Windows, if
one of those is your host, should be fine.
