RE: [ECOS] Using the TCP/IP stack from the anonymous CVS server

["Trenton D. Adams" <tadams at theone dot dnsalias dot com>]

It's customary to CC the list so people might pick up the solution by
searching the archives if they have the same problem!

Yep, very difficult to get every little detail from the documentation.
I know that I myself can't read the entire docs because it takes too
long.  I try to do the best skimming I can.  If I still can't get it, I
read ALL documentation on the particular part I'm interested in.  Even
then you can miss stuff!

Very odd indeed.  When you create your build, is it in a new directory?
I find that weird problems sometimes happen when I try and write over an
old build.

If that doesn't work, I would suggest downloading the entire
eCosRepository from CVS again and then the net package right after.

Glad I could help a little anyhow! :)

I see,

By doing the following:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos -z 9 co -P net 

the package is automatically added.  There's just so much to read it's
easy 
to miss little things.

Well, it compiles now but when I attempt to run my code, it dies.  I'm
not 
even compiling TCP/IP code either - it just crashes with GDB when I try
to 
step past the first automatically set breakpoint.

I'm doing the following to get a compiled kernel:

 ecosconfig new iq80310
 ecosconfig add net
 ecosconfig add CYGPKG_NET_ETH_DRIVERS
 ecosconfig tree
 make

I suspect it's an interaction problem with redboot. Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip in any case,
-Rich
