Salut,

Thank you for your contribution to eCos. Sure, you can send the patches
on this list, however, today's preferred method is to submit the patches
through an eCos Bugzilla Engine: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/

Jean-Francois, although your patch(es) is/are small enough, it exceeds
that "ten lines limit" to incorporate the patch(es) without a Copyright
assignment (CA). Read, please, more about eCos CA needs and points here:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/contrib.html

I think that to start a process to get CA from FSF is good idea as your
both patches (the second is a fix for one FLASH device driver) have TODO
lines :-)

One thought according the selected name for CDL to manage a hardware
variant for the target (CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_LPC2XXX_OLPCL2294_RAMSIZE), for
my taste CDL name to distinguish hardware would be something like
CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_LPC2XXX_OLPCL2294_VARIANT and using such an option you
could enter the changes in HAL startup code and in the target's flash
device driver.

So, could you, please, re-submit the patch(es) for eCos Bugzilla system
and start the process of obtaining CA (if you can)? At the least, I will
be able to test your changes for 8M variant on OLPCL2294-1M target then.

Je vous remercie,

Sergei
