A few suggestions: 1. Update to the CVS version. A lot has happened in [nearly] 4 years since 2.0 was released :-) 2. Read the documentation and list archives. There are lots of discussions about how to get RedBoot running on your hardware, including networking. 3. Continue asking questions. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
