[ECOS] Realtek 8139 problem

[ECOS] Realtek 8139 problem

[Umar Said]

Hi all, 

I have successfully build library for my modified PC target/template which 
recognizes Realtek 8139 ethernet card. But when I try to compile some net 
test program, an error occured. This was what I did:

$ i386-elf-gcc.exe -g -I pc_rltk8139_install/include/ ping_test.c -L 
pc_rltk8139_install/lib/ -Ttarget.ld -nostdlib
/opt/ecos/gnutools/i386-elf/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i386-elf/3.2.1/../../../../i386-e
lf/bin/ld: address 0xa2158 of a.out section .bss is not within region ram
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My environment is Cygwin on Windows 2000 server. I got rltk8139.tgz from 
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-devel/2003-07/msg00028/rltk8139.tgz. 
Does anyone have any hints on this?

Regards
Umar

What template and startup type are you using?  It looks like you've 
tried to use a floppy startup which only uses low RAM and will not
be able to run larger programs, e.g. those with a networking stack.

Try using the 'net' template with a normal RAM startup.  You'll have
to have some way to load it onto your PC, e.g. RedBoot or GRUB.

Hint: you might think about updating to the latest CVS.  Support for
a PC+Realtek device have been in CVS for quite a while now.

Thank you Gary. Yes, I used floppy startup. Sorry I forgot to mention 
that. Now I have downloaded the latest packages that include Realtek 8139 
and it works fine. How if I want to add other devices now supported by the 
latest linux kernel to eCos?

I also want to connect to a database server, e.g. MySQL/PostgreSQL. Is 
there a project developing this one?
