RE: [ECOS] Newbie question: eCOS and Redboot for AT91SAM7S-EK

["Wayne Liu" <Wayne dot Liu at prostorsystems dot com>]

I ran into another strange problem: when I try to invoke the ecosconfig tool
through the desktop icon, the ecosconfig tool window displays a bunch of
messages in its output window and then disappears. I dumped the output to a
text file, and it seems to complain that my installation doesn't contain the
"*.cdl" script (see below). 

---- from configtool output window ----

ecos.db, package CYGPKG_HAL: warning
    Version subdirectory `common' does not have a CDL script `hal.cdl'.
ecos.db, package CYGPKG_HAL: warning
    This package does not have any valid version subdirectories.
....

---- end from configtool output window ----

But I can see that there is an "
C:\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos-2.0\packages\hal\common\v2_0\cdl" directory with
several .cdl files in it. 

I tried a few things but always got the same result:
a) invoke it directly from the cygwin shell command line (after executing
/opt/ecos/ecosenv.sh)
b) pull out the current version via anonymous CVS and run the configtool
there.

Did I do anything wrong with my installation? Or did I miss some steps?
Thanks in advance!

Wayne

eCos does not require RedBoot. Just build ROM applications.
