[ECOS] RedBoot and Flash memory on embedded x86 PC

[Stéphane Husselin]

Hi there!

I just discovered eCos few days ago and I'd like to use it on my embedded PC
(Pentium III), but I read that "PC RedBoot does not support any FLASH
commands" (eCos Reference Manual, Chapter 5. Installation and Testing
IA32/x86 x86-Based PC).
The problem is that I don't have any harddrive on my board and I planned to
use a Flash Disk-on-chip (DOC2000 from M-Systems) instead.

If RedBoot does not support Flash, does it mean that I couldn't use my
Disk-on-chip with ecos or is it independant?
How could I access to my flash if RedBoot is unable to see it?

Thank you,
Stéphane
