Re: Re: Question about RedBoot Networking
Hi, Sergei,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I feel very excited that I am connected
to the big eCos family. :-)
I am using eCos 3.0 with "i386 PC Target (vmWare)".
Yes, you are right, the "CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS" is missing. From the
ecc file, I can see the following lines
# Redboot Networking
# This option includes networking support in RedBoot.
#
cdl_component CYGPKG_REDBOOT_NETWORKING {
# This option is not active
# ActiveIf constraint: CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS
# CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS (unknown) == 0
# --> 0
Any idea why the lines related to "CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS" is commented
out? I am doing development on a Lin64 RedHat 4 machine.
Thanks a lot!
Jingzhao
