Re: MPC860 eCos application


Gary,

I started with a clean build for libTarget (setup startup configuration as RAM) but it seems to be always picking up the <variant>_rom.ldi file (<variant>_ram.ldi looks a bit different and has no rom section). I have verified my .cdl file several times but for some strange reason during build the wrong .ldi file is included.

The configtool gui shows that it will use <variant>_ram.ldi but still <variant>_rom.ldi contents show up in target.ld

Thanks in advance
Nirmal
