[ECOS] Problem running hello.c on ARM simulator

["Justin Bojarski" <jbojarski at sarnoff dot com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile and run a simple hello world program for eCos. I'm
trying to do it as a simulator for the ARM environment. The problem is
as soon as I type run from within gdb, the program locks, eats up all my
memory, then gives me a not enough memory error in windows. I'm trying
to do it through cygwin. Can anyone help me out? Here is everything I
typed:

jbojarski@jpjohnson /tmp/ecos-work/arm
$ /opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin/arm-elf-gcc.exe -g
-I/tmp/ecos-work/arm/arm_in
stall/include /tmp/ecos-work/arm/hello.c
-L/tmp/ecos-work/arm/arm_install/lib -
Ttarget.ld -nostdlib

jbojarski@jpjohnson /tmp/ecos-work/arm
$ /opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin/arm-elf-gdb.exe -nw
/tmp/ecos-work/arm/a.out

ARMulator can't allocate VM page: Not enough core

right before it gave the VM page error, it just stopped... and consumed
memory. Can anyone help out?

Thanks,
Justin
