Hello Sergei,
That is really a good idea. If I could put some things on the wish list
that I would like to see in such an image ;O)
1. Precompiled toolchains for all architectures (or special JeCos for
each architecture?)
2. The eCos Config GUI tool
I know that a lot of people use the command line tools. But especially
for eCos beginners that download the VM image for eCos evaluation the
GUI tool is easier to understand, to use and it helps to understand the
eCos configuration system. And I know that there are also experienced
eCos users (like me) that prefer the GUI tool.
3. A working docbook installation.
I did not even try to build the eCos dosumentation on a Windows machine
and always switched to a Unbuntu VM to do this job.
4. A GUI debugger
I have to admit, I'm not a command line guru and I prefer GUI tools. I
think if somone is familar with all the command line tools then he also
has a running eCos linux environment. So it would be great to have a GUI
debugger. I prefer Eclipse with Zylin CDT plugin.
6. A working synthetic target to play with eCos without real hardware
If you need some help testing stuff on a Windows XP machine I could help.
