Ok. Any idea how to resolve this dependency? W/o this feature the USB device
is useless:

* CYGFUN_DEVS_USB_AT91_EP0 requires CYGPKG_IO_USB and
  CYGPKG_IO_USB_SLAVE.

Another simple question:

How do I figure out the runtime size of my ecos installation?
Is it the size of libtarget.a ? Is this compressed?

W/o the USB feature and rest of the basic stuff including lwIP stack
enabl3d, I'm getting
around 1.2MB in size!

Thanks,
