RE: [ECOS] About adding new platform

["jameshq" <jameshq at liverpool dot ac dot uk>]

Thanks for your reply.
  What I want to do is to use another set of gcc development tools (for
example If I configured another tools set  xxx-elf-gcc, xxx-elf-g++ .... I
want to use the new tool set as the development when I build the library)
for the new platform that's why I want to add a new platform.

Thanks again.

best regards!

james

Do you mean you have written a new HAL and you now what the GUI to be
able to use it in a configuration?

I've never actually done this, but i think you need to edit the
ecos.db in the packages directory. You see entries like


target ebsa285 {
        alias { "Intel EBSA285 StrongARM board" ebsa }
        packages { CYGPKG_HAL_ARM
                   CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_IO_PCI
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_INTEL_I82559
                   CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVICES_WATCHDOG_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_EBSA285
        }
        description "
        The ebsa285 target provides the packages needed to run
        eCos on an Intel EBSA285 StrongARM board."
}

I think you need to add a new one for your platform.
