Hi David,
I'm interested in porting eCos to Coldfire myself, in fact for the same
device. I haven't found any indication that this port has been done before
either. I haven't checked the archives for this list thoroughly though.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/.
Don't know if you are already aware of the Fiddes ColdFire Development
Resources site: http://fiddes.net/coldfire/. You can find the gcc
cross-compiler for Coldfire here. And I sure do hope that this can be used
to port eCos to Coldfire. There is also a mail list for Coldfire users that
you can sign up for at: http://www.wildrice.com/ColdFire/. Maybe someone on
that list has some information about OS portings for Coldfire. There's an
FAQ dealing with porting eCos to a new processor at:
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/faq.html#porting_how_would_I. Keep me posted
as to your progress if you pursue this port, or any information that you dig
up which might be useful.
Regards,
Grant Whitacre

Hi,
Has anybody ported eCos to the Motorola Coldfire, in particular
the MCF5272 (embedded Ethernet and USB)?
I can't find any reference to it having been done. We're
evaluating the Coldfire against an ARM7TDMI and the ease with which we
can port eCos to our platform is obviously a factor. I know eCos has
been ported to several flavours of ARM7TDMI single chip procesors. Can
anybody give me an idea of the complexity of porting eCos to the
Coldfire - I believe gcc/gdb tools exist for the Coldfire (ucLinux has
been ported to it) so can these be used to build eCos?
Thanks in advance
David Webster
