The diagnostic channel is an interesting idea, but I don't think I want to build the bitmaps, etc., into the variant hal. The problem of outputing text on a dot matrix display is generic, not specific to the board, so should be addressed in a reusable manner. > I agree with Ilia, but if you plan to develop some kind of an abstract > library to manage small graphical arrays (of course, first look for any > portable prototypes with right licence :-) then a right place for such > packages is eCos 'services' directory. Ah, I think that is exactly the answer I have been looking for :-) Tomas
