Hi,
I wrote some simple assembly programs to comunicate to
a serial port with SID.
To compile them i used eCos libraries as suggested in
the documentation but i found out that i can compile
my assembly code without using arm-elf-gcc and eCos
library.
Infact i can use the arm-elf-as and arm-elf-ld instead
of arm-elf-gcc.
I was sure that comunicate with SID was necessary
using eCos library.
It's one of the options, but sure you don't _have_ to use it. It was just
meant to give you a complete system quite easily.
So why should i have to use eCos ? maybe to write my C
program ?
It would help, and you get a lot of things "for free", i.e. all the
features of eCos. But sure, if you don't need them, don't use them.
Are you interested to take a look at my assembly code
? if yes i am going to post it to you.
Don't really see the need.
I am finishing my thesis, so please send some comments
to me.
Good luck!
