Great! Maybe we can work together to get ethernet support for this
platform added to the eCos repository.
Of course. It's vital to add new stuff in order eCos can be still "useable".
I think it would be preferable to define a new target such as "stm32f4discovery_bb" in ecos.db which
includes the STM32 ethernet package. We can then make the necessary
changes within the platform HAL source code conditional on
CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_CORTEXM_STM32. We need to bear in mind that some users
of the STM32F4-Discovery board may wish to wire up a different PHY
component rather than using STM32F4DIS-BB.
OK.
Best regards,
jerzy
