The FAT filesystem will not work in RedBoot since it requires too many kernel facilities to work. You cannot put the kernel into RedBoot since RedBoot is intended to be a stand alone application, there are just too many assumptions for this to work. The only use that RedBoot would have for FAT filesystem support is to load executables. So a simple read-only loader similar to the one that already exists for ext2 would be a better solution. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com The eCos and RedBoot experts -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
