Hi!
I implement eCos2.11 on redhat Linux 8.0 and try to create RedBoot.
When I need to add serial driver, enter build->packages
then choose package item from "Availabe Packages" to
"Use these Packages"...press "add".
My screen display Message "Add and remove hardware packages by selecting a new hardware template".
eCos cannot allow me to add this item......
What package were you trying to add?
I know where Gary's going with this, but may as well be explicit IMHO :-).
You can't add a serial driver package as a serial driver is hardware
specific.... and as a result it must be listed separately in the
definition of the target in the ecos.db file. If there isn't a serial
driver listed in the ecos.db target, that is probably because the driver
doesn't exist/work for that target!
Besides, you don't want to add a serial driver package to redboot....
RedBoot uses polled I/O with interrupts off, and that comes from the HAL,
not from the separate serial drivers which are aimed at eCos.
