RE: [ECOS] Multi-ICE support Status

["benny" <benny5 at mindspring dot com>]

I tried the new version of code (v2?) ;
here are the results on e7t board:

1. There is a problem in vector.s (or in my setup):

#ifdef CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_ICE_THREAD_SUPPORT
        ldr     r2,=ice_thread_vector
//BLD!        sub     r2,r2,r1        // compute fixed (low memory) address
        ldr     r3,=0x4D494345  // 'MICE'
        str     r3,[r2],#4

in the commented instruction r2 is the ice_tread_vector which resides in
section ".fixed_vectors"
which in my case has the absolute address 0x20 (the vector itself has the
absolute address 0x150)
r1 is the __exception_handlers which has address 0x10000
This way the sub result got negative.

I commented out the sub instruction, now the sting MICE got written to the
address 0x150.
The comment in vectors.s says that it should be address 0x50. Difference in
0x100 is because of the
hal_virtual_vector_table which I can't remove.
So my MultiIce server keeps reporting "Not a good vector or eCos not
running!"

Also when I enabled CYGDBG_HAL_DEBUG_GDB_INCLUDE_STUBS, I start getting GDB
output to my debug console
like : $T02thread:00000006;0f:08c40100;0d:fc4f0400;#24
Because I don't have GDB on the serial port, and GDB waits for input, code
stack.

Looks like I still miss something in flags.
