Laurie, Yesterday I tried your tip, but it didn't help in my case. I will explain how I do it:
I take i386 Realtek template, choose redboot in packages, then I go to eCos HAL -> i386 architecture -> I check Load into higher memory (I accept solutions for conflicts) and then I go for Startup type - I change it for floppy and I get a conflict that I should use GRUB, but I discard a solution so it stays Floppy. It builds fine and image starts properly but still the same amount of available RAM appears (about 64k) Any ideas??? Thanx;) Marcin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Gellatly Sent: 19 June 2006 10:24 To: Marcin Chrusciel; [email protected] Subject: RE: [ECOS] Redboot available RAM I boot from floppy and it still works. You can search for the macro name in configtool using 'Edit/Find'.

But what if I want to boot form floppy???? Marcin -----Original Message----- From: Laurie Gellatly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 June 2006 09:41 To: Marcin Chrusciel; [email protected] Subject: RE: [ECOS] Redboot available RAM Marcin, I had a similar issue that I think I solved by checking on CYGHWR_HAL_I386_PC_LOAD_HIGH (This option enables building RAM applications which have a start address outside of the area used by redboot_GRUB.) The other description says 'Load into higher memory (2MB)'. Have you tried that? ...Laurie:{) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcin Chrusciel Sent: Monday, 19 June 2006 5:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ECOS] Redboot available RAM I really stuck on this problem for i386 target. I've searched maillist several times and found only this thread: http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2006-04/msg00184.html Which is about exactly the same problem as I have. I tried also both types of discovering available RAM - bios and hardcoding. No results. All I need is about 1MB for application...
