Does a similar list exist for eCos?
Not at this time, but something like that may appear for future stable
eCos releases.
Something like the results of:
1. Compile Redboot RAM/ROM/ROMRAM
2. Load an app in Redboot RAM/ROM/ROMRAM. ("smoketest" would be a
suitable
name).
3. Use Redboot RAM/ROM/ROMRAM to write an app to flash (+ booting the
app).
Clearly it is impossible to test all permuations of eCos. Even with a
single
hardware target, you still have the .cdl configuration switches that
create
FAPP an infinite number of combinations.
Yep, although the eCosCentric test farm does do a lot of configuration
testing including many many different combinations of options - but again
that's what customers pay for I'm afraid, not just for the general public
release. You can be fairly sure though that eCosCentric will test any
future public releases to some extent in the test farm (but probably in a
much more limited way than for customers as test bandwidth is
limited!).... eCosCentric's success rides on the back of eCos's success!
Which is why open source development and a system for submitting patches
is *great*, BTW. :-)
Just one of the many reasons :-).
