Re: [ECOS] ECOS - MIPS

["K. Sinan YILDIRIM" <sinany at beko dot com dot tr>]

i dont understand why ecos restricts its users with a configtool and 
templates. i want a clean makefile and module structure. not structuring with 
a config tool or hardware environment. it is really diffucult to add or 
remove a new file. also many files are coupled each other. 

i have a board that implements mips core and different to atlas board. there 
must be a clean version of ecos that includes pure mips dependencies. atlas 
dependencies makes people to change their OS choice...

does anyone think that it is really configurable ? i dont think so...

OS must fit the environment, environment must not.
