Yes, you are right, the "CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS" is missing. From the
ecc file, I can see the following lines
# Redboot Networking
# This option includes networking support in RedBoot.
#
cdl_component CYGPKG_REDBOOT_NETWORKING {
# This option is not active
# ActiveIf constraint: CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS
# CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS (unknown) == 0
# --> 0
Any idea why the lines related to "CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS" is commented
out? I am doing development on a Lin64 RedHat 4 machine.
As I said you had to add the package. If you use CLI eCos config tool
the steps would be
ecosconfig new pc_wmWare redboot
ecosconfig add eth_drivers
...
NOTE: 'eth_drivers' is alias for CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS package.
Also, you have not use default startup for RedBoot, FLOPPY? Set that
properly.
I believe in that what you can do the same using GUI eCos config tool:
Build
Packages
Keywords: 'Common ethernet support'
Add >>
...
If your VMware bundle will support eCos Ethernet NIC for PC WMware
target, I hope you can get networking on it, though there is *NO
WARRANTY*. Seek on the list I call someones managed it.
