Hello all, I am interested in running eCos on a Tensilica core; the last posting I found in the discuss archive goes back to June 2005 (pasted below). Is there any update on this? Has anyone run eCos on Tensilica products (Diamond or Xtensa)?

Tensilica supplies a working version of Redboot, based on the old 1.1 code. At my previous company (www.stretchinc.com) I ported their code to the latest ECOS CVS. I finished most of the port (and fixed a ton of bugs :P) but never had time to get ECOS running. I suspect it would not be terribly difficult, assuming you don't run into serious tool issues with C++. Neither Tensilica nor Stretch submitted their changes back, but if you are Tensilica Licensee, you probably have their code anyhow. The latest compiler from Tensilica is no longer gcc based, instead they have a compiler based on the Open64 compiler from MIPS, so there may be some issues with C++ if you do not have the gcc compiler for Xtensa. -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
