RE: [ECOS] how to build an eCos library for ARM7tdmi simulator

["Robert Cragie" <rcc at jennic dot com>]

I have started to use SID (http://sources.redhat.com/sid). This emulates
complete target hardware systems, e.g. the ARM PID, which is based on an
ARM7T. Additional components can be added and the SID configuration file
changed to emulate virtually any target hardware. It is also open source.

With a bit of tweaking, I have managed to get a program similar to
'twothreads.c' to successfully run on the SID pid7t target using the full
eCos environment and using GDB (Insight) to download and debug the program.
I can provide details of what I had to do if you're interested; note however
that I am using Linux as the host OS, so I cannot give you any help  for
Windows, but in theory it should be able to run with cygwin.
