Since migrating from eCOS V2.0 to the most recent one (from CVS), I am
stuck with the problem that I can no longer configure eCOS to support
SPI. Using eCos Configuration Tool 2.net UNSTABLE (Oct 9 2008 16:37:05)
I select the hardware "Atmel AT91SAM7XEK evaluation board" default
packages. The resulting configuration does not include support for SPI.
The package CYGPKG_IO_SPI is missing. However, an attempt to add this
package ("Generic SPI-support" using configtool) is blocked with the
error message:
Add and remove hardware packages by selecting a new hardware template.
Well ok, but how do I do this? Thanks and best regards
CYGPKG_IO_SPI is correctly declared as a hardware package in ecos.db.
eCos targets which use this package must therefore include it in their
target descriptions. I note that this package is missing from the
at91sam7xek target description in ecos.db. You should therefore add
CYGPKG_IO_SPI to this record by editing ecos.db directly.

Someone needs to check that all eCos targets which use SPI include
CYGPKG_IO_SPI in their target descriptions and submit a patch. Any
volunteers?

Hi John
Thanks for the tip. When this problem surfaced, editing the db-file was
what I thought might help. It did not. Now, based on your input I gave it
another try - and this time it worked. No idea what went wrong during my
first trial. Thanks.
wrt your aside-remark: I feel too much as a newbe to tackle this right
now. May be later.....
Regards Robert
