Re: [ECOS] how to configure eCos small enough to run on at91sam7s64

hi, Andrew Lunn
Thank you for your reply. I have some more questions. Can you or
anyone else to help me? It's really tricky at the beginning. Without
the eCos small enough to run on at91sam7s64. I can't execute the
helloWorld demo. Thank you
very much.

This minimal package contain USB driver support. How can i get rid of
that, i think it will consume many memory, and i don't need that. I
can't understand why author contain that thing in a miminal mode.

The At91SAM7 serial contain 8 channels AD themselves, So we don't a
ADC driver to use that?

After building the library, i  use the command " arm-eabi-gcc -g
-IBASE_DIR/ecos-work/install/include hello.c
-LBASE_DIR/ecos-work/install/lib -Ttarget.ld -nostdlib" to build the
HelloWorld test. Then a "a.out" exist. But when i
use shell command "./a.out", i cann't get any output. Must i have
download to the board to run the test?
i can find the size of the "a.out" is 137k.  Is this size the same as
your said "code/data size", How can i get the *.elf file and use
arm-eabi-size to find out the code/data size?
