Where is the device support ?

I didn't import the flash device drivers from eCos. See <rtems/jffs2.h>
in the RTEMS support patch for the device support. The application has
to provide the flash access operations.


Would it make sense to have drivers added to libchip for commonly used devices ?

Where can we find a real driver for a real device ? I feel we need real drivers as examples in RTEMS.

I do not like the "application" needing to handle this. I think BSPs should provide drivers and not applications. The device is specific to a board and it is the role of the BSP to handle this sort of thing. If I use a BSP that has suitable flash devices I would expect the BSP to contain the support. It may be the application that enables and configures the support given a correctly working and mapped set of drivers from the BSP.

I regretted not providing a real driver interface to the flash memory in the flashdisk block device. Having a real device interface means it can be opened and managed without the file system, for example erasing or testing the devices.


Clause 2 concerns me.

Is mixing GPLv2+exception and a BSD type license like this ok ?


??


This LICENSE file is part of the Linux import patch.


Found it. Thanks.

Do any of the files that contain the reference to the LICENSE file get installed ?
