[ECOS] Question about redboot

[ECOS] Question about redboot

[john albert]

Hi,
I am trying to rebuild redboot. When I run the following command
ecosconfig new psim redboot, I got

U CYGDBG_HAL_COMMON_CONTEXT_SAVE_MINIMUM, new inferred value 0
U CYGFUN_LIBC_STRING_BSD_FUNCS, new inferred value 0
U CYGPKG_NS_DNS_BUILD, new inferred value 0
C CYGBLD_BUILD_REDBOOT, "requires" constraint not satisfied: 
CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT

Then, I open hal.cdl and look for
"cdl_component CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT". Inside the component, 
there is the line "active_if  CYGINT_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT". 
CYGINT_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT is not defined in the same file.
To work around, I lock the line "active_if  
CYGINT_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_SUPPORT", and type the command again, it seems to 
be OK. After building the tree and compiling, I receive these errors:

Intel have never contributed their lubbock port. So as far as the net eCos
project is concerned, there's not much we can do as they are unknown
sources. Ask Intel to do the obvious thing.

Hi! I am using redboot to boot my linux in the intel xscale 
platform(lubbock).
    However,    I found that the current version of Redboot support 
ethernet thorugh the SMC chip and CF only . But I want the one for PCMCIA, 
do anyone have idea about how t odo it? Actually I deicde to use NB2000 
PCMCIA ethernet card to be the   ethernet controller!!
thx a lot

Are you running/building from the latest sources from CVS?  The problems
you mention (^C not working, as well as no thread support) were fixed
a few weeks ago (on 17 Sept).

Hi,all
Now I can run redboot on my board,and I can connect redboot through insight
5.0 under x window,using remote tcp target,then load my applications,run my
applications well, but I meet another problem--I can not break(use ^c) my
application when it is running,and when the application is over,I can not
close the gdb window either,and gdb can not connect redboot afterward,until
I kill the gdb,and run gdb again,is that the way redboot works? If so ,it is
too unconvenient,isn't it?Are you going to add ^c function to new redboot
version? When will it release? If I want to do it myself,will you please
give me a tip?

I know from the document that the redboot is thread aware,what is the
meaning? Because when I use "info thread" in gdb ,it always report "can not
get remote thread list",is anything I do wrong?how can I get thread info?

Any help will be highly appreciated!

This message indicates that your RedBoot is failing at 0x1b0030.  Look at a map (from
arm-elf-nm) or use GDB to analyze where it is failing.

 Hi,all  I download eCos from 
anoncvs, and  have got ecos running on our board using the CL_PS7500FE 
ARM  processor. I have included  
DM9008  ethernet chip and added our driver.The chip really works.I run all 
the  test files,they all work correctly.Now I want to use redboot,but how 
can redboot work on my board?From the document with anoncvs,I really don't know 
how to start?What I have tried is as following:    I modified 
redboot.RAM,and let start from ROM,then I do    #ecosconfig new 
edb7xxx redboot  #ecosconfig import 
/tmp/redboot.RAM  #ecosconfig 
tree  #make    Now,I wrote the install/bin/redboot.bin 
to my flash,and run it in the flash,When I run on host as 
this:  #minicom -o ttyS0  I received  RAM 
0x00000000-0x001c0000  $T0050f:30001b00;0d:a4280000;#42  when I 
pressed any key on the host,I received the same 
messages"$T0050f:30001b00;0d:a4280000;#42"from the ecos board,what is 
the problem? Anyone can help me?
