Graham, you wrote that you successfully build eCos under VirtualBox. I hope that you did not delete that image, because, you had a working environment. You had one issue: serial port connection on VM. I brief look at VirtualBox' User Manual (there is pdf on their site). They do not talk about any issues with virtual serial ports, IMHO, you must configure the ports properly. See chaptres 3.7.6, 8.5.4 from the Sun xVM Virtual Box User Manual (2.1.4). I sure that Sun offers an excellent virtualization. And it seems for me that if you configure their VM properly, your problem will go away. You can ask about your issue just here http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community Sergei -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
