That's *not* the way to go. Treat eCos like any other POSIX system and just add some wrapping to make things fit together. > Probably the route of configure and Makefile hacking I've used with > Stackless on Nintendo DS (see http://www.develer.com/~lmancini/dspython > if interested) isn't the most effective here with eCos... > > Thanks in advance! > First of all, questions like these probably belong on the eCos mailing list (CC'd) I've packed up the tree I used to build Python. It's a bit old (Python 2.3) and there's no documentation other than the Makefile. You can find it at: http://www.mlbassoc.com/examples/python_on_eCos.tgz You'll need to adjust the Makefile for your target, as well as the configuration file. Once built, you'll have a Python interpreter which runs using a file system (ROM/RAM/JFFS2) of your choice (for all the Python packages, etc) n.b. NO WARRANTY or SUPPORT implied.
