Re: [ECOS] ecos+sample application in at91sam7x256

["Mika Viinikkala" <mika dot viinikkala at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

This was solved.. Firstly, the main was not recognized beacause I was
using minimal configuration of ecos, which does not include c library.
Using default configuration, for instance, the main is found.

The main problem was, however, that the program was looping in
wait_pmc_sr_2 in hal_platform_setup.h. There, it was waiting the PLL
to become locked, which never happened. I changed the ecos default PLL
divider value (24) and PLL multiplier value (125) to values used in
Atmel's getting started example (divider=14, multiplier=73). Now it's
working fine.

Thanks
