First, take a look at the patches submitted by Thomas Koeller and Tim Drury (search for EB40 in the ecos-patches list archive). These do exactly what you suggest and split the AT91 HAL into a variant part and a platform part. So an EB55 port should now be easy to do. However, I am currently in the process of sorting these patches out, ensuring that they are up to date and function in the current source tree, are documented and tested etc. In addition to EB40 and EB40A boards, I also have an EB42 and an EB55 here, so I'll be adding platform HALs for those two boards too. This is something of a background task at present, so gets interrupted for more important jobs, but if you are prepared to wait a while then there will be an EB55 port eventually. Alternatively, if you want to contribute and do the EB55 port yourself then go ahead. Take a look at how Tim added the EB40A port for pointers. Let me know if you are going to do this -- but bear in mind that given a clear run this week I'll probably be ready to do the EB55 port in a few days time. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect http://www.ecoscentric.com/ The eCos and RedBoot experts
