[ECOS] ARM Development with multi-ice from South Africa

["Jason van Aardt" <Jason at roninwireless dot com>]

Hi All.

We are working at the moment with the ARM Intergrator and Evaluator
Boards 
from ARM, with the the MULTI-ICE and ARM SDT.

We would dearly like to move to GNU tools, and ECOS, however we cannot
seem
to get a system up and running to evaluate.


We are using ARM7TDMI cores, and have managed to recompile the
crosscompiler, 
the debugger etc  etc under both Linux and Cywin.

However we have only got the GDB debugger working with Redboot on the
Evaluator
via the Serial Port, and have been stuggeling for the past week to try
get hold 
of the GDB-Multi-ice-Server, in order to use our much loved ICE.


Has anyone gone through the excersise that we are trying to perform?????

THe problem seems to stem from the fact that the WEB page at Redhat 
about using ARM platforms with the MULTI-ICE is not accurate as it
refers 
to a subdirectory in GDB called "multi-ice" that does not
exist in any of the GDB's/ GNUPRO Tools /EDK's  that we have downloaded.


We have ordered the GNUPRO tools, but are still awaiting their arrival, 
and we are not even sure that the server will be there either based on
the posts in this mailing list.


What are other engineers out there using to develop for ARM on?
Are most of you using StrongARM's if so what ICE are you using and HOW?


If there is any one out there who can point us in the right direction
(Jonathan? or Bart?)  could you please advise as we are running out of
time
and patience at the moment.


Thanks in anticipation
