Hi Gang, Im currently looking into porting eCos to the STR912 processor. The processor is on the bleeding edge (it just came out), so Im still waiting for my eval board.
My first goal in this message is to both let everyone know that I should be starting to work on this soon and see if anyone else might be working on this as well Second goal is to have someone with some eCos experience make sure my porting approach isnt too far off. Im definitely new to eCos, so any pointers will be awesome (I have been reading some of the other How do I port to X threads). The STR9 is using an ARM966-E/S core, so my intention is to start with the eCos port that is for that core and adapt it to the STR9. I will be using the all of the GNU tools for building and debugging. I intend to purchase either Signum Systems JTAG Jet with Trace or the PEEDI JTAG Emulator if I cant get my company to pony up for the slightly more expensive device from Signum. Both of those devices claim to be compatible with the GNU debuggers. Anyone with experience with either of those devices? Other suggestions? By the time I am finished with the port (the complete port might take 6 months or more depending on my employers priorities), I hope to have drivers for USB, Ethernet, Flash, SPI, , and possibly GPIB. Im not sure my employer will allow me to contribute the GPIB portion, but well see I intend to contribute everything else back that I can. Should be fun getting to know you all! I hope to be more of a help than a hindrance in this forum when its all said and done. Forgive me while I spin up! Thanks! Adam Lamb Sr. Firmware Engineer ILX Lightwave Corp Bozeman, MT
