Re: [ECOS] confused about running program on remote target

["Erik Reikes" <ereikes at hotmail dot com>]

The problem as I understand it is that the Redboot.bin from Redhat doesn't 
reserve enough ram.  When newer applications are downloaded, it overwrites 
redboot and crashes the debugger.

The file you need to change is an .ldi file in the pkgconf directory.  Then 
you need to recompile the redboot.bin file.

If you search over the past couple of days you'll see that I have been 
having the same problem.  If you get redboot.bin to compile, please let me 
know what you did as I have been beating my head against the wall for a few 
days to no avail.  Looks like some kind of problem in the disk IO 
assembler... blech.  I've been trying to work around it, but at this point 
I'm out of ideas.

Good luck!
