Hi!
I am working on a platform that is very similiar to the eCos-supported
nanoEngine platform.
What I am trying to do now, is to remove the current Ethernetdriver (Intel
I82559 and BSE nanoEngine ethernet driver)
and instead use a "pseudo-driver". For now, I am trying SLIP, but am
supposed to use PPP later on.
(Since SLIP is much simpler and by doing this, I thought I would learn how
to add new drivers and how to
link them into the stack)
What I have done so far, is to add the CDL to the directory
devs/eth/slip/current/cdl and the c and h file to
devs/eth/slip/current/src
I have also modified the ecos.db and added the "slip package".
But when I start from the nanoEngines template, and want to remove the
default networkdrivers and instead use
the SLIP using the config tool, I get an error which sais:
"Add and remove hardware packages by selecting new hardware template".
Is there any easy way to do this? Or should I manually change the .ecc file
and add my slip package?
How do I do this?
Any replies, comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arif Abbas
