>The ARM AEB-1 comes with tools in ROM. These include a simple
FLASH management tool and the Angel® monitor. eCos for
the ARM AEB-1 comes with GDB stubs suitable for programming into
the onboard FLASH. GDB is the preferred debug environment for GDB,
and while Angel provides a subset of the features in the eCos GDB
stub, Angel is unsupported.</P
><P
>Both eCos and the stubs support both Revision B and Revision
C of the AEB-1 board. Stub ROM images for both types of board can
be found in the loaders/arm-aeb directory under the root
of your eCos installation. You can select which board you are using
by selecting either the aeb or aebC platform by selecting the appropriate
platform HAL in the <SPAN
