Re: n00b PC booting questions
There are several ways to get this boot job done. The approach that we took
was a simple fast boot. This works well in a production as well as
engineering. The advantage to a disk or disk flash is that you can write a
simple socket protocol to download the image overitself and reboot. Our
build to test cycle is a few seconds, once you have fdisk/format/sys the
disk. Works well for us. I don't have much experience with redboot so I
cannot comment on that approach. But when we first looked at it in eCos 1.0
it seemed to be to floppy based. Is it possible to run redboot as an
application in eCos or does eCos sit on top of redboot?
