Re: [ECOS] Installing Redboot/eCos on the Atmel EB40(A)

[eibach at gdsys dot de]

Hello,

have you really tried building for the EB40A target, not for the EB40, that has a completely different memory layout?
If you are using ecos 2.0, there is no EB40A support included. You have to get the latest CVS (or an ftp snapshot from http://www.ecoscentric.com/devzone/snapshots.shtml). Then follow the instructions in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-06/msg00425.html

Regards,
Dirk
