Re: PC targets and ethernet


Hi Andrew

Question: Why should hardware packages not be removable?

This was a design decision intended to prevent users from modifying their configuration to such an extent that it was effectively targetting a different board. The eCos Configuration Tool uses the selected "Hardware Template" (target) for more than just package selection. For example, the "Run Tests" feature requires knowledge of the selected board.

OK.


This leads to the counter question. Is ecosconfig broken? Should it
also not allow hardware targets to be removed?

ecosconfig has no need to impose the restriction detailed above. It could be argued that the GUI and CLUI tools should be consistent in this respect. However, there may be objections to imposing such a restriction on ecosconfig users.
