21 years agoUnfortunately I don't have an Altera board to work with, just our custom board. Is there a listing somewhere of all the required peripherals that are needed to allow an eCos kernel to build? BTW, this was an issue with the uClinux distro too -- nobody would publish the secret list of periperhals required to build that kernel, which made the entire process long and painful. I was hoping maybe eCos would be different.
Can you think of anything that might cause the configtool to hang in the way I showed? It was barfing on the system clock for some reason. It is set to 50 MHz in the SOPC builder -- is that the wrong value for the eCos distro? (though I can't see why the configtool would care what the clock freq. is) I'll add a timer and see if that allows the configtool to deal with the system clock. I appreciate your help -- thanks! TomB
