[ECOS] Building Microwindows without CYGPKG_NET as a linked application

[jamesn <nick dot james at tait dot co dot nz>]

Hi

I'm building Ecos for a LEON target with the Microwindows package.

I've added a new option to microwindows.cdl specifiying screen driver, 
null keyboard and null mouse. Eveything seems to be working as it 
should, the library is building and linking with my application and 
framework.

The problem is that I only have 512K bytes of space on the target 
hardware and my present image with MW and NET package is around 640K bytes.
When building without NW and NET package the image is around 220K bytes.

Looking at the memory map file (with a kludged target.ld), it seems to 
me that a large part of this overhead is the tcpip support and the 
net_bsd_tcpip package in general.

I do not need microwindows to work in the X-client/server model - 
calling the nano api routines directly (linked application?) would be 
acceptable. Is this where the requirement for the NET package comes from.

I would like some advise on the feasability of removing the CYGPKG_NET 
package,

DoeS aNyBody know if this is possible or, even better, has anyone done it?


Currently I have Ecos building with the Net packageas follows:

cdl_configuration eCos {
    description "" ;

    # These fields should not be modified.
    hardware    sparc_leon ;
    template    net ;
    package -hardware CYGPKG_HAL_SPARC v2_0 ;
    package -hardware CYGPKG_HAL_SPARC_LEON v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_HAL v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_IO v2_0 ;

    package -template CYGPKG_ERROR v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_IO_FILEIO v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_NET v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_NET_FREEBSD_STACK v2_0 ;
    package -template CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS v2_0 ;
    package CYGPKG_MICROWINDOWS v2_0 ;
};

Thanks
