Exactly the same things as on Linux: ECOS_REPOSITORY and PATH variables. There is ecosenv.sh script there, and you must source it: $ source /opt/ecos/ecosenv.sh or $ . /opt/ecos/ecosenv.sh> Then, I typed 3 lines the below as a mentor: --- It seems for me that it's time for you to read the eCos documentation http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ Your eCos distro has the same HTML pages. --- and I followed by the link the below and it was surprise for me this page http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/user-guide/user-guide-installation.html directed me here http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html There is no much info for eCos N.B. about environment variables :-) on the getstart.html page. So, in cygwin's bash prompt, type $ . /opt/ecos/ecosenv.sh then try $ echo $ECOS_REPOSITORY and $ echo $PATH Do you see a path to arm-eabi GNU tools? $ arm-eabi-gcc -v Hey, eCos gurus, where is step by step installation (preparation) guide for eCos N.B.? Enlighten Graham, please. My mother language is not English, so, it's difficult for me to assist Graham. Graham, if you are not CLI guy, then use `eCos configtool'. Graham, I'm sorry, but in any case, a reading is a right way to start with anything.
