of course, the best solution is to switch to Linux as a development host. ;-) There are many possibilities, but I think the second best possibility is using coLinux to set up a "virtual" Linux on top of your Windows box. *) In this virtual Linux, you can do anything you would do in a native Linux box, including using LTIB and ELDK (is there a version of the latter for coldfire meanwhile?!). Setting up coLinux on your own can be a bit tricky. Maybe somebody can recommend a pre-built image for it that does not have some strange non-standard default settings? Regards, Wolfgang *) While coLinux is really fast for most applications, it has some performance issues when using graphical tools because (to my knowledge) there is no fast and free X-Server for Windows. However, in my experience this is no real problem because the applications I used (editor, debugger) were not so demanding in this respect. Using such a bloated thing like eclipse is definitely not something you want to do with this combination, but IMHO this is more a conceptual problem of Eclipse (or Java?) than coLinux... _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
