AIM711 serial drivers

AIM711 serial drivers

[John Dallaway]

Hi Roland

The three AIM711 serial driver packages share the same directory 
(devs/serial/arm/aim711) at present. This contradicts the design of the 
eCos package repository and causes particular problems for the eCos 
Administration Tool (ecosadmin.tcl) which assumes that each package has its 
own directory. For example, if you attempt to remove one of these packages 
from the repository using ecosadmin.tcl, files relating to the other 
packages will be deleted and the repository will be left in an inconsistent 
state.

Are you able to provide a patch which separates out the serial driver 
packages?

Hi John

yes of course I could make a patch.

Should I seperate them like:

devs/serial/arm/aim711
devs/serial/arm/aim711_16x5x
devs/serial/arm/aim711_s3c4510

or better:

devs/serial/arm/aim711/aim711
devs/serial/arm/aim711/aim711_16x5x
devs/serial/arm/aim711/aim711_s3c4510

There is no strong precedent in the existing package directory hierarchy 
since most platforms use only one serial driver, but I think the second 
arrangement would indeed be preferable.

Please submit to the ecos-patches list as usual.

Thank you

Alternatively it may work okay to continue with a single package, with one 
ecos.db entry, but have the three parts as cdl_components rahter than 
cdl_packages.
