That's great! Any ideas when we can expect it?
It's unfunded work, so you can't _expect_
From your previous email it seemed that is moving forward. So I assumed
there is something like a floating timetable, like "We are working on it"
or "planned for this summer".... :)
it at all ;-). I suggest making do with Shannon's patch kit for the
moment (see the mailing list archives).
I have it working for 2.0alpha, so that's not the issue. We did an eCos
port of our ARM board that is based on the new AT91 architecture. I would
love to have it in the archive so that I don't have to patch my files when
I update eCos.
But not official 2.0.
So it will not go into 2.0?
It's too big, too late. It's not _that_ much of an inconvenience for
people to use the trunk of course, and it will be a good incentive to
think about 2.1 ;-).
I think there is a big miss-understanding. The patches provided by Thomas
Koeller contain a rearchitecture of the AT91/EB40 and a new Flash support.
From the past discussion I understand that the changes in the Flash result
a lot of work. I'm questioning how many users need this. Specially since
the changes are somewhat controversial. The current Flash driver works with
EB40.
Looking at the general rearchitecture it doesn't look like a lot of work.
It is mainly moving of files from one directory to an other... That's why I
suggested in the past that only the rearchitecture would be included into
eCos. I think a lot of AT91 based platforms would take advantage of that.
If there is anything that I can do helping it moving into eCos let me know.
Yes, I know. Funding is the keyword. How about a pizza...?
Thanks,
Daniel
