[ECOS] porting ecos...

[김재용]

Please help me..
I don't even know concept of porting, but I have to port ecos in EDB7209-2C
ARM7 board of Cirrus..
I have followed instruction in redhat Web Site and downloaded ecos-1.3.1
and
extracted...
And compiled, installed binutils, gcc, gdb in arm target, following
instruction
of
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/install-linux.html and
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/linux-arm-elf.html
executable comes arm-elf-gcc etc.

and I don't know what I should do next to port ecos.
I guess I have to cross-compile kernel, but I don't know how to do that.
Neither document in redhat Web site nor document in ecos package told me
what
to do next. and seems to skip..
Please tell me what I should do next in detail, including command with
option
and argument. Sorry, I am beginner in ecos and porting
I have not much time and urgent.
And another question..is ecos included in Embedded Linux?
Please answer..
I will wait for your answer.

Firstly, for the Cirrus Logic board you mention, no porting is required
at all as this is one of the platforms we support.

Secondly, you would be much better off by using the eCos sources from
anonymous CVS.  See http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html

Once you've obstained the latest sources and installed both the sources
and the tools on your system (I assume that you are using Linux for
your development host, based on your references above) then you can
create an eCos kernel for your board.  Once you have a kernel, then
you build and run applications on the board by downloading them using
GDB.

This whole process is rather fully explained in the eCos "Getting
Started Guide" and hardware installation notes.  The full text is
available from our web site at:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs.html

If you have additional problems or questions, just send them to
this same eCos discussion list.

[ECOS] Porting Result of eCos on NEC DDB-VRC4375

[Ling Su]

Dear All,

After several weeks porting and testing, eCos finally can run on my new NEC
VRC4375 board in little endian mode. I am not sure if any body need it,
anyway, please let me know if you want to use VRC4375 board with eCos.
Compared to vrc4373 board, this board is newer, and the porting work just
limits on the platform dependent part.

Regards,
-Ling

Congratulations! I'm glad that it's finally worked out for you. Did you
have to change much from the vrc4373? And what were the solutions to the
problems you were having?

Actually I am still have problem to build a GDB stub based on the new CVS
tree. I worked that out by using the eCos-1.3.1 distribution (adding vrc4375
package) to build a working stub and then using the CVS tree for applicition
library building. I didn't changed much from vrc4373, but since I can not
get PMON source code from NEC after several times asking, I have to find out
the differences from 4375's datasheet. The major difference is the SDRAM
power-up sequence.

Well, if you do get into a useful state, please do consider contributing it
back (or at least putting it up for FTP) so other people don't have to go
through the same problems you have had to!

PMON is available from here: http://www.carmel.com/pmon/index.html

Dunno if they have the relevant NEC changes though.
