[ECOS] CS8900A and EB40A?

Yep, Shannon's got that, but just to be clear about what I know you meant 
:-), Shannon needs to write an equivalent of devs/etc/arm/edb7xxx for this 
cs8900 on the eb40.

Indeed the existence of the CYGPKG_NET* packages in the config is the 
source of the problem. Most of the packages at the end from CYGPKG_NET 
onwards shouldn't be there at all for RedBoot. As Jani says, it would 
probably best to start over again with ecosconfig new eb40a redboot. 
Incidentally the more appropriate way to add CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_CL_CS8900A is 
by adding it to the eb40a target in ecos.db. Search for eb40a in that file.

But in any case, depending on how easy it is for you to reprogram your 
board with images, it may be easier to develop your ethernet driver under 
eCos rather than RedBoot, as that will make it easier to debug.

To do this you wouldn't use the redboot template, and instead would build 
just a normal eCos application with the networking stack included. Try the 
new_net template instead. You'll still need to add the hardware drivers 
into your config of course.

That stuff goes in the package analogous to the edb7xxx one.
