So far, I have seen output from the "tuidemo" and "firework" demos. I can
navigate the menus and the fireworks are recognisable.

Sergei, correct operation of the demos seems to be dependent on resetting
minicom between each demo. Otherwise, no output is observed. Have you seen this
behaviour?

I am using eCos target pc_i82559 and minicom in VT102 mode.

A few comments so far:

The following CDL options need CDL "description" strings and should be "flavor
bool", not "flavor data":

 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_KEYPAD_KEYS
 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_ANSI_COLORS
 CYGDAT_PDCURSES_DRIVER_USE_VT100_ATTR

I think it would be preferable (and more consistent with other eCos packages)
to build the demo programs as eCos tests under the control of the
CYGBLD_PDCURSES_DEMOS option. Something like this should work (untested):

 cdl_option CYGPKG_PDCURSES_TESTS {
   display "PDCurses tests"
   no_define
   flavor data
   calculated { CYGBLD_PDCURSES_DEMOS ? src/demos/xmas src/demos/... : "" }
 }
