eCos 2.0 Errata
 
---------------
 
 
 
* When building RedBoot for ROM startup, the following warning may be produced
 
by BFD:
 
 
 
  allocated section `.bss' is not in segment
 
 
 
This warning is due to mishandling of overlapping segments and is harmless. A
 
patch has been submitted to the binutils mailing list.
 
 
 
* When building eCos for the 'linux' target with the 'net' template, the
 
following warning is produced:
 
 
 
  /usr/bin/ld: warning: no memory region specified for section
 
  `.rel.ecos.table._Net_inits.data.0x88000001domain_routecyg_net_add_domain'
 
 
 
This warning is harmless and may be ignored.
 
 
 
* eCos fails to build for target 'flexanet' since the platform support has not
 
been maintained with respect to the rest of the repository.
 
 
 
* RedBoot fails to build for target 'dreamcast' since the package
 
CYGPKG_FS_ISO is not present in the eCos public repository.
 
 
 
* The eCos tests 'pselect' and 'cpuload' may fail erroneously on some eCos
 
targets (false negative).
 
 
 
* We are aware of the following issues with specific versions of the cygwin1
 
DLL:
 
 
 
  - version 1.3.19 cannot be used to configure eCos toolchains due to a
 
       problem with vasprintf.
 
  - version 1.3.20 causes various toolchain failures when building eCos on
 
       Win95/98/ME only. We suspect this is an mmap issue.
 
 
 
* The PSIM PowerPC simulator treats all data cache instructions as noops.
 
The behaviour is benign with the exception of the dcbz instruction. It causes
 
the eCos kcache2 test to fail on target 'psim'.
 
 
 
* Register handling in the GDB stub code for the MIPS32 variant has been
 
changed to supply 32 bit registers rather than 64 bit. This change allows
 
use the public gcc 3.2.x compiler but will cause problems with the
 
mipsisa32-elf toolchain from ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/redhat/linux/
 
 
 
* There are a number of minor issues with the eCos Configuration Tool:
 
 
 
  84946 Configtool build progress bar inoperative
 
  84948 Cannot add new command prefix in platform editor dialog box
 
  85588 Starting help spawns xterm which doesn't disappear
 
  85597 Configtool internal doc viewer issues
 
  89778 Configtool platforms list is not sorted
 
  90180 NT config tool configuration pane divider dragging unreliable
 
 
 
* The eCos documentation does not describe how to invoke the Insight graphical
 
debugger. Insight is invoked by specifying the "-w" switch on the GDB command
 
line.
 
 
 
* The Insight graphical debugger exhibits a lack of robustness on Win95/98/ME
 
hosts. We recommend using command-line GDB on these platforms.
