Re: [ECOS] ecos porting for Atmel AT91RM9200-DK

Hi,
   Good news.
(Another bad news is that my hard-disk go on strike, all data are crash)
The RomBoot from atmel is 1.02 and I compiled it with ADS 1.2
http://www.at91.com/Pages/products/EvaluationBoard/AT91RM9200EK/other/AT91RM9200-DataFlashBoot.zip

I just modify the the last sources/main.c:AT91F_StartBoot()
Skip copy/check and jump to proper location of redboot (ROM).
The PLL is configured by sources/main.c:AT91F_SetPLL()
I tried to reset it in hal_hw_init() of ecos, but do not work fine.
I need to check errata.

I will not use serial flash in my design, but only parallel flash.
The datasheed said it will check the 6th vector (0x14) as length of 
bootloader,
and copy it to sram then run it ?!
However, the 6th vector is zero, and do you know how to let it work ?
Because I think it's too burdensome to use 2 boot-loader.

I do not get timeout problems.
Maybe you can check the configuration of PHY,
and disable or replace hw_delay_us()
