Hi all:

I have added to the orbuild framework the necessary steps to download and build 
eCos and test it under the or1ksim simulator with a very simple test case.

The next step would be to write more complicated tests and to check out the new 
eCos ethernet driver too.

I would like to have some simple eCos-based demo app which provides a shell 
over a serial port. I wish to run it under the simulator and be able to 
interactively type commands like "ping" and maybe set the IP address and so on.

Is there such a simple demo app for eCos somewhere, and if not, how can I build 
one with minimum effort? I have no experience whatsoever with eCos and I 
wouldn't want to invest much time learning it at the moment. I tried with 
google and I also looked at the eCos documentation, but I couldn't find an easy 
shell demo app. I saw in the newsgroups some people asking for an interactive 
shell a while back.

I had a quick look at the default ecos.ecc for the ORPSoC platform, it looks 
like there are (or there can be) 2 serial ports, one for a GDB connection and 
one for a diagnostics console. Can someone tell me the short 'ecosconfig' magic 
in order to add a bidirectional serial port for the new interactive debug 
console?

If eCos doesn't cut it, what other embedded OS would you recommend for OpenRISC 
in order to interactively help test the ethernet connection?


Thanks,
