Hi, all,
I am new to RedBoot and eCos. I was able to compile RedBoot and
download it to a VMWare machine. Nice output from the console.
Hi Jingzhao,
What target do you use?
However, I don't know how to enable networking for RedBoot. I don't
see any information from the RedBoot output what IP address it uses.
The "ip_address" command is not there.
You have to add 'CYGPKG_IO_ETH_DRIVERS' eCos package. That package
provides a generic, platform-independent Ethernet I/O.
When I looked the eCos configuration for RedBoot, the "RedBoot
Networking" is grayed out. I cannot even specify a static IP address
as the field is disabled.
Can any one give me a hand?
With added package above you will get 'RedBoot Networking' enabled, but,
that won't be mean that you will get networking on your target (your
target must have H/W Ethernet device drivers something like
CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_YOURNIC
CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARCH_TARGET
).
Well, in such a case (if your target has not NIC) RedBoot will say about
an absent NIC on its start
+No network interfaces found
