Re: [ECOS] Embedded PC SBC

[j dot d dot charlton at ieee dot org]

I think I am making progress.  I removed the offending packages (I had
to remove about 5 total). Now I get the following error when processing
targets:

[charlton@marble ecos-i386-stub]$ tclsh ~/cygnus/ecos-1.2.1/packages/pkgconf.tcl --target i386 --platform pc --startup floppy --disable-kernel --disable-uitron --disable-libc --disable-libm --disable-io --disable-io_serial --disable-wallclock --disable-watchdog
Unexpected error while processing /home/charlton/cygnus/ecos-1.2.1/packages/targets
invalid command name "base_platform"
[charlton@marble ecos-i386-stub]$
