Sorry, this might appear to be a little harsh but posts that lay blame in the incorrect camp drive me nuts!
>>Cygwin is hampering eCos Not really. What other royalty free RTOS is available for zero cost that you can develop on both Linux and Windows? Your *real* problem isn't with eCos or cygwin, it is with the other MS only tools you are forced to use that prevent you from using eCos as it was intended. You should be asking the makers of those other tools to go at least as far as eCos and work with the Wine emulator. >>w/FPGA development thrown in, one can easily be locked into M$. This is where all of you hardware gurus can bark at the companies and demand native Linux tools or at least those compatible with Wine but *you* have to speak up! Ask the companies that you are paying thousands per seat to meet your needs not the people who charge you nothing and are already bending over backwards. I don't recall names but I thought I had seen some blurbs about fpga designers coming out for Linux on Linux Electrons' news site. Search the archives and you should find the articles. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Øyvind Harboe Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 08:25 To: ?yvind Harboe; eCos Discussion Subject: Re: [ECOS] eCos on Windows without Cygwin On 3/1/07, Andrew Lunn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As far as I know, MinGW binaries of GCC toolchains + eCos tools is the > > most tantalizing prospect. > > I've little interesting in using eCos on M$ platforms, so i don't > follow the discussion in too much depth, so take all my comments with > a pinch of salt. Thanks for the feedback! I wish Linux was the standard development platform(I certainly would have preferred it), but alas e.g. w/FPGA development thrown in, one can easily be locked into M$. -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
