Re: [ECOS] how to build an eCos library for ARM7tdmi simulator

["Your Name" <shobana at in dot ceeyes dot com>]

Hi Satish

you don't really require simulator. You can start developing your 
applications in synthetic linux.  There is not much difference in the 
code.  You will find difference only the HAL Layer.  Until and unless 
you write any application which accesses the hardware you don't really 
require the simulator.  

Hardware independent code is the same in synthetic linux or ARM7TDMI.
