[ECOS] Application and redboot, using same IP address?

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi,

I want to use the fconfig IP values, set in Redboot, from our application. The idea being that the Redboot is the command line used to set values that would not otherwise need to be changed remotely. While hunting through the archives, I came across this post:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ecos-discuss@ecos.sourceware.org/msg01854.html

Can anyone confirm to me the validity of that answer? We only have one network port, so I am not sure how a boot and an application can have separate IP addresses? I thought that the Redboot would simply hand off to the application?

We do want to eventually debug our application using GBB, so I don't want to do anything that would prevent us from doing this.

Andre
