ECos tools

This is a repository for some minimal eCos tools.

Prerequisites

ecosconfig requires the tcl compiler to work. For Debian or Ubuntu development platforms the proper package is named tcl8.5, you can install it using: sudo apt-get install tcl8.5. For Gentoo platforms the package is named dev-lang/tcl, you can install it using: sudo emerge dev-lang/tcl.

Compiling eCos

Create a <name>.config file and set the appropriate paths/options based on the example.config file.

Run make.sh --config=<name> to build:

• the eCos kernel if the .ecc is set to compile eCos and the FILES variable is empty
• your eCos application and the kernel if the FILES variable is set
• RedBoot if the .ecc is set to compile RedBoot

Available flags

• -o=<fname>|--output-filename=<fname> - set an output filename if building an application, default is <name>
• -t|--tests - build the eCos test suite
• -r|--rebuild - force rebuilding the kernel

Notes

• the eCos build output will be in the <name>_build/ directory
• the toolkit should be relative-path-resistant, meaning that you can just put it anywhere on the system and work from your own directory. Make a local or global symlink to make.sh if you like, keep your .ecc files wherever you want etc.
• remember to --rebuild after you change your .ecc!
