[ECOS] Re: Freeze with big const struct/array

[gcembed <gcembed at gmail dot com>]

Hello,
Here is the answer to my question :
Once you have compiled redboot, get size of install/bin/redboot.bin . In 
my case, it is 380208 bytes (0x0005CD30). There is two constants to 
adjust to higher value than the binary file size.

1) packages/hal/arm/mx27/myboard/current/include/fsl_board.h
#define REDBOOT_IMAGE_SIZE          0x60000

2) packages/hal/arm/mx27/myboard/current/misc/redboot_ROMRAM.ecm
cdl_option CYGBLD_REDBOOT_MIN_IMAGE_SIZE {
    inferred_value 0x00060000
};

REDBOOT_IMAGE_SIZE and CYGBLD_REDBOOT_MIN_IMAGE_SIZE must be set with 
the same value.
Best regards,
GaÃtan.
