Subject: RE: [openrisc] eCos on OpenRISC
I have been using a slightly modified version of Scott's original patches on
our own custom platform (can't remember exactly what I changed). I have been
using this for a while without any problems, although I have been using only
the minimal configuration and not using the full OS features.
I will submit the tarball to phoenix@o... which contains the
appropriate ecos.db entry and HAL for the ORP platform and will leave it to
the maintainers to come up with the definitive release.
