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.
