- Subject: [ECOS] IDE, FAT, and VMWare
I am trying to do my preliminary development on a Linux platform running
VMWare. The platform is i386 pc. I have a virtual machine configured
with 2 virtual IDE hard drives, /dev/hda/ & /dev/hdb/. The first is
formatted as a ext2 file system; the second as a FAT file system.
/dev/hda/ has GRUB installed and allows me to boot redboot.
From my Linux platform, I use Insight to connect to redboot on the
virtual machine and download my eCos target application, which is
suppose to use /dev/hdb/ for file storage.
I am having trouble recognizing /dev/hdb/ as having a FAT file system.
The eCos application does see /dev/hdb/, but /dev/hdb/ does not get
mounted.
Before I go down this path very far, I am curious whether other users
have had a similar configuration working. If so, what problems did they
encounter?
Thanks,
Don Walton
