The prebuilt eCos host tools for Cygwin provided within the eCos 3.0 release do not work with recent Cygwin installations due to their reliance on tcl84.dll. In response to this, I have generated new builds of the tools which use libtcl8.5.dll. The new tools are built from current eCos CVS sources and should otherwise exhibit the same behaviour as the previous snapshot builds of 2011-02-09.
The new snapshot builds for Cygwin can be downloaded from the eCos ftp site and are located in the "anoncvs" directory: anoncvs/ecos-tools-bin-120425.cygwin.tar.bz2 Please use a mirror site in your own geographical region to access these files. Sites which mirror the eCos ftp area are listed at: http://ecos.sourceware.org/mirror.html The eCos host tools may be extracted into the current working directory from the downloaded archive file by using the following command at a bash prompt: tar jxvf ecos-tools-bin-120425.cygwin.tar.bz2 If you are using an older Cygwin installation which does not include libtcl8.5.dll, you should stick with the eCos host tools provided with eCos 3.0 or with the snapshot builds of 2011-02-09. Feedback on any remaining compatibility issues is welcome.
