Thank you. Regarding porting to eCos : SUCCESS.
Now I'm able to run few demos under eCos synthetic fremabuffer.
There are 2 or 3 very small fix to add like :
diff --git a/boards/addons/gdisp/board_framebuffer_eCos.h
b/boards/addons/gdisp/board_framebuffer_eCos.h
index 80c9147..e8e4613 100644
--- a/boards/addons/gdisp/board_framebuffer_eCos.h
+++ b/boards/addons/gdisp/board_framebuffer_eCos.h
@@ -28,7 +28,7 @@

        // SET THIS HERE!!!
        // This must also match the pixel format above
-       #define FRAMEBUF                640x480x16
+       #define FRAMEBUF                fb0

        static void board_init(GDisplay *g, fbInfo *fbi) {
                // Initialize the frame buffer device - we assume
everything is going to succeed.

and uGFX works under eCos as a application.


>If you want a Linux frame-buffer type interface have a look in the "boards/base/Linux-framebuffer" directory for the board_framebuffer.h in there.
I asked about Linux frame-buffer because initially I had a problem
with dependencies. After I had used Linux Makefile I manage to build.

Now is the question how you would like to provide uGFX :
1) as a application in eCos meaning
2) or add to tree as a eCos package?

Best regards,
