[ECOS] Configtool always gives "[b7633880 M 16:21:16] Failed to initialize any targets"

[David Fernandez]

Hi there,

Again, I kind of remember fuzzily that there was a simple way to make
this go away, but couldn't find a ny trace in the mailing lists.

Anybody knows why configtool goves "[b7633880 M 16:21:16] Failed to
initialize any targets" and how can it be fixed?

N.B. I've made a config with "ecosconfig new ek-lm3s811 redboot",
which give the output:
U CYGHWR_HAL_CORTEXM_SYSTICK_CLK_SOURCE, new inferred value INTERNAL
U CYGSEM_HAL_ROM_MONITOR, new inferred value 1
U CYGNUM_HAL_CORTEXM_LM3S8XX_XTAL_FREQ, new inferred value 6000000
U CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_USE_INTERRUPT_STACK, new inferred value 0
U CYGDBG_HAL_CRCTABLE_LOCATION, new inferred value ROM


Cheers

It would have been more helpful to describe what you were doing when it said
this, and where it reported it. Evidently it's at startup time.

At startup, the configtool looks for test platform definitions in
$HOME/.eCosPlatforms. If there's nothing there, it unpacks a default from the
file platforms.tar in the directory it lives in.

I suspect you don't have any pre-existing $HOME/.eCosPlatforms and don't have
a platforms.tar. So to solve this, download eCos 3.0 and in your home
directory (cygwin or linux) run this:
tar xf /opt/ecos/ecos-3.0/tools/bin/platforms.tar

which will add information for a few default platforms, not that I'm sure any
of them are relevant to you.

Or you can add info for your own platform using Tools->Platforms, which should
also make it go away.
