[ECOS] New to eCos environment

["D.S.Phani Kumar" <phani dot kumar at wipro dot com>]

Hello All,

I am new to the eCos environment. I have just completed reading the basics of eCos. Now I am planning to port the eCos to a processor (decided by my boss). Now I have following oubts.

 

1) Is there any restriction on the environment to develop the eCos for the particular processor. Is it ok if I have Windows NT.

 

2) What are the mandatory tools (minimum set) required to start with? One of my friend told me that I require GCC, binutils, GDB etc etc. I want to know what tools (like GCC, GDB etc etc) without which I can not continue.

 

3) Is there any local dealer in Bangalore - India from whom I can buy the source files (in the CD format). My boss has the CD but the version is 1.2.1

 

4) If I start developing with the version 1.2.1, is it compatible with the latest version. (I heard that the latest version is 1.3.1)

 

5) Is there any material / website for a fresher like me!!!

 

with best Regards,
D.S.Phani Kumar.
