Sorry, I'm afraid the eCos CT version 2 doesn't have the Memory Layout tool 
yet.
Only the older MFC-based tool has this. You will need to either use the old 
CT for this, or tweak the memory layout files by hand.

The latest, latest docs should make this clear but they probably haven't 
filtered out to anon CVS yet.

For Linux, there should be a platforms.tar.gz file in CVS and in the CT 2 
distribution containing some platform info, but probably not very uptodate. 
For Windows, CT 2 expects to find this information in the registry having 
installed a full eCos kit. However you can add and edit this info via the 
Platforms dialog.

This seems to be a discrepancy between the docs for CT 1, and my 
implementation of CT 2... sorry!

These buttons should be in the Run Tests dialog, not when building.

I'll have to leave the other eCos questions to the experts...
