CYGPKG_HAL_POWERPC
Radio
The PowerPC architecture HAL package provides generic support for this processor architecture. It is also necessary to select a specific target platform HAL package.
CYGPKG_HAL_POWERPC_COGENT
Radio
The cogent HAL package provides the support needed to run eCos on a Cogent board equipped with a PowerPC processor.
CYGHWR_HAL_POWERPC_COGENT_STARTUP
Enum
When targetting the cogent board it is possible to build the system for either RAM bootstrap or ROM bootstrap. The former generally requires that the board is equipped with ROMs containing a suitable ROM monitor or equivalent software that allows gdb to download the eCos application on to the board. The latter typically requires that the eCos application be blown into EPROMs or equivalent technology.
CYGPKG_HAL_POWERPC_SIM
Radio
The minimal simulator HAL package is provided for use when only a simple simulation of the processor architecture is desired, as opposed to detailed simulation of any specific board. In particular it is not possible to simulate any of the I/O devices, so device drivers cannot be used.
