RE: [ECOS] i386 platform !

[Jean-François Mullet <jf dot mullet at arcale dot net>]

Hi Andrew,

I can build an image without any problem; I just cannot connect to it with gdb. 
I've tested eCos versions (randomly) from two years ago till the last version on CVS and I've never been able to connect with gdb.
Sometimes the toolchain is not compatible with the eCos source code (compilation options...) but the error is obvious and an update is easy and fast. 

It would be nice to know on which platform people are using eCos.
It seems that x86 is not the most used according the number of relative questions on the mailing list.

How are you building it. I just built one:

lunn@londo:~/eCos/work2$ ecosconfig new pc redboot

lunn@londo:~/eCos/work2$ ecosconfig tree

I don't have an i386 board to test it with, but it seems to compile OK
except for some warnings.
