Re: [ECOS] Starting with eCos : i386 target and hello application

[Fabrizio Carrai <f dot carrai at libero dot it>]

Ok, I solved the problem. When we develop an application that have to
be loaded by Redboot that, in turn, has been loaded by GRUB, it is
necessary to select the "Load into higher memory (2MB)"
(CYGHWR_HAL_I386_PC_LOAD_HIGH macro name) option under "i386 PC
target" in the eCos configuration tool.

The option sets the application entry point to 0x208000, above the
Redboot area (info on the memory left free by Redboot are displayed at
the boot).

Bye!
