Re:[ECOS] stable cygwin ecos?!

[teun dot van dot de dot berg at philips dot com]

Here's how I installed my eCos. I've left out some parts because they are 
confidential, but you won't need them. This description is for an ARM 
(LPC2106) but it should help you.

Install description

The eCos installation consists of a few parts. For clarity the different 
steps are listed here.

Install Cygwin  Install eCos   Get latest eCos from CVS  Apply eCos patch 
Build & flash ecos and application

Install eCos

-Install Cygwin and add the following packages gcc, make, sharutils, 
tcltk, wget, gdb, and pathutilities.

-Download ecos-install.tcl & ecos-install.db from the ecos website (ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/)

-Start the ecos setup by invoking "sh ecos-install.tcl ?c ecos-install.db"

-When prompted chose to install the ARM package.

-When the ecos install is complete go to My computer -> Control panel -> 
System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and add:
Cygwin = C:\cygwin\bin
GNUtools = C:\cygwin\opt\ecos\gnutools\arm-elf\bin

-After the ecos installation is complete you need to install 
configtool-2.11-setup.exe (http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/sources.redhat.com/ftp/ecos/ct2/old/).

-Now start the ecos config tool. To set the target go to: Build -> 
Templates and choose an ARM (pid).

-Now set the paths. Go to Tools -> Paths and set:
Build tools = C:\cygwin\opt\ecos\gnutools\arm-elf\bin
User tools = C:\cygwin\bin
You also need to set Tool -> Repository = C:\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos-2.0

-When all this is done you can build the ecos kernel. I used the dir: 
C:\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos-2.0\ecos-work and chose test.ecc as file name.

Get latest eCos from CVS
-Install WinCVS (www.wincvs.org)

-Now just set the package to ecos and begin the checkout.

-When that is complete replace the ecos folders and files downloaded 
earlier with the new cvs versions. (Don't delete the other folders!)

-Download the patch for the Ashling board (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000068)

-Now apply the patch (patch ?p1 < PhilipsLpc2106_25Jan04.patch). Note that 
you must rename your eCos folder to ecos for this.

-Now make a dir called build in the ecos dir & make it your pwd. Then 
invoke ../configure.

-Then invoke make.

-Next invoke make install.

Build (ecos) description

-Start the eCos confiruation tool. Note that if you used this install 
description you probably need to change your repository path from ecos-2.0 
to ecos.

-Under Build -> Templates select "ARM ASHLING Eval board".

-Change the eCos HAL -> ARM architecture -> Startup type to ROM.

-Save and build the project.

Build (application) description

-First you need to set the path for the GNU tools. In Cygwin type:
PATH=/opt/ecos/gnutools/arm-elf/bin:$PATH ; export PATH

-Now you can invoke make:
make INSTALL_DIR=/opt/ecos/ecos/ecos-work/test_install

-Now to convert you bin file to a hex file (required for the flasher) you 
should use: arm-elf-objcopy ?O ihex YourSourceOFile YourTargetHexFile.hex

(Might it be nessecary then you can check your memorymapping by using 
arm-elf-objdump -h hello (the elf format not the hex.)

-Ready to flash! (Use the Philips flash utility.)
