[ECOS] Problem running redboot from eb40a

[Konstantin Kletschke]

Hi there!

So, I am now completely puzzled what you are doing there, and what I am
doing here :-)

I for myself am not an n00b in building, compiling or software for linux
or with linux, for example builind the arm-elf toolchein was not really
a problem for me. But I don't get redboot up in my f§$§$ing eb40a.

So what I tried are shannons patches, especially these ones:

http://www.loser.net/at91.tar.gz
http://www.loser.net/ecos-db.tar.gz

out of

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-01/msg00125.html

So, now I am puzzled if there are newer ones, because of the following
issue.

Timothy, you postet in 

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-03/msg00331.html

some changes, with them you got your eb40a up, but two two lines are
different here:

> CYGMEM_REGION_ram_SIZE from 0x1e000 to 0x3e000

you suggested, but in .h and .ldi file there where a SIZE of 0x20000
defined, due to that I am puzzled if there are different Versions of
Shannons two tar.gz files.

I commited your changes to my source tree anyway:

Is it correct you changed the mlt_arm_at91_eb40a_ram.h and
mlt_arm_at91_eb40a_ram.ldi and NOT the *_sram.* files? 

What ecos Version did you youse? An actual cvs? The actual 2.0b? Or a
significant older cvs? 

Is there any interest (Timothy? Shannon? other succesful People?) in
building an comprehensive mini-howto which tells how to get the
redboot<->eb40a thing to work with an collection of patches, tips and
advises? I am offering my (editorial) help and wepspace and time for
such a project, because I am desperately trying this things getting to
work.
Maybe porting "Shannons tars" to the actual 2.0b ecos tree in form of a
eb40a-ecos2.0b.patch.bz2 is a good idea. So you and me are working on
the same software, and when you are telling "works here!" I know I have the
same code here and the error is between chair and screen :)
But because I am not able to get this work I can't do that alone :(
Otherwise I would have done it, or if I where a C god I would have
ported it already...

So, now I am digging here around further, there MUST be some little
Detail which goes wrong here... *mumblegrumble*
