X-SW-Source: 2007-06/txt/msg00157.txt.bz2 Thank you so much for your help!! But I still not very clear about some problems. 1. If "Redboot does not use the kernel" , does that mean if I want to see the result of my modification, redboot is no help. But if without the redboot, can I still use the VMware to run the ecos? Because I only see the examples about how to run the redboot on VMware. 2. After these steps: " ecosconfig new pc_rltk8139 edit ecos.ecc and change CYG_HAL_STARTUP to floppy ecosconfig tree make -s tests " and compilation of ecos, I also need to run some applications to verify my modification( like get some calculation results). How I can run the applications and see the results?
