If you're trying to [rebuild] an existing RedBoot, use the .ecm file we
provide.
If you're trying to build RedBoot the first time, i.e. a new port, here
are the steps. Note: I use the command line, but the ConfigTool actions
are the same:
% ecosconfig new <platform> redboot
% ecosconfig add eth_drivers
% ecosconfig tree
% make
The key is that the 'net' package is only for full eCos programs. In
the case of RedBoot, all you need is the "common ethernet drivers"
package which brings in the networking framework. It should also
implicitly enable any network drivers defined for your target.
