[ECOS] Linux Synthetic Target TCP/IP Support

[Colin Ford <colin dot ford at pipinghotnetworks dot com>]

Hello All,

I'm a new user to eCos and have just managed to get
it running on our MIPS board. I downloaded the version
1.3.1 from the red hat site and also downlaoded the
net1.0b1.epk from the site.

I have a few questions:

Q) Does the synthetic target for Linux have support
      for the TCP/IP stack?
 
      I 'make tests' and get errors when making
      the net tests for linux:

      ECOS/linux/install/include/lib/libkern/libkern.h:107: parse error before `max'
      ECOS/linux/install/include/lib/libkern/libkern.h:107: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `max'
      ECOS/linux/install/include/lib/libkern/libkern.h:107: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration
      ECOS/linux/install/include/lib/libkern/libkern.h:107: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

      Do I have to write a psudo ethernet driver for the
       synthetic target, or has someone already done
       this?

Q) Is it better to download eCos using CVS ? If so how
      offten should this be done? Plus are there major
      inprovments in the version on the red hat site to that
      held in the CVS repository? Plus are there any
      instructions for doing this?

I'm sorry if these questions are in some FAQ someone
but I could not find it.... :-(

Many thanks for any help,
Col.
