RE: [ECOS] Tool Chain

["Gregg C Levine" <hansolofalcon at worldnet dot att dot net>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Standard Disclaimer:
I am not familiar with the ARM family of processors, so all I can
provide is advice.

That being said, Jack, are you aware that pre-built tool chains exist
for the ARM platform? Are you planning on running the ARM processor in
Little-Endian mode? Or Big? Of course I'd need to know which is which.
The list doesn't say which, but I believe that the current crop of
systems are working in the Little-Endian mode.

If your plans are to run things in the Big-End mode, your going to
indeed have to rebuild your tool chain, and those instructions are
indeed quite correct. Unless you already have targeted applications,
then I suggest you switch to Little-End mode.

And gang if I gave the writer incorrect advice, please don't complain
on this list, please send all complaints directly.

Does a FAQ exist for all supported hardware examples which the current
release of ECOS supports? (That includes what's inside CVS.) We should
include what I've suggested in that FAQ. We should also include a
definition for which is which.
