The first ROM image provides a port of the CygMon ROM monitor, which includes a command-line interface and a GDB remote stub. The second ROM image provides a remote GDB stub only, which is a minimal environment for downloading and debugging eCos programs solely using GDB.</P ><P >eCos, CygMon and the GDB stubs all support the PID fitted with both ARM7T and ARM9 daughterboards. CygMon and the stubs can be programmed into either the programmable ROM (U12) or the FLASH (U13). Pre-built forms of both ROM images are provided in the directory loaders/arm-pid under the root of your eCos installation, along with a tool that will program the stubs into the FLASH memory on the board. CygMon images are prefixed with the name 'cygmon' and GDB stub ROM images are given the prefix 'gdb_module'. Images may be provided in a number of formats including ELF (.img extension), binary (.bin extension) and SREC (.srec extension). Note that some unreliability has been experienced in downloading files using Angel 1.00. Angel 1.02 appears to be more robust in this application.</P ><DIV CLASS="SECT2" ><H2 CLASS="SECT2" ><A NAME="AEN3542">Installing the Stubs into FLASH</H2 ><DIV CLASS="SECT3" ><H3 CLASS="SECT3" ><A NAME="AEN3544">Preparing the Binaries</H3 ><P >These two binary preparation steps are not strictly necessary as the eCos distribution ships with pre-compiled binaries in the directory loaders/arm-pid relative to the installation root.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="SECT3" ><H3 CLASS="SECT3" ><A NAME="AEN3547">Building the ROM images with the eCos Configuration Tool</H3 ><P ></P ><OL TYPE="1" ><LI ><P >Start with a new document - selecting the <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >File</I ></SPAN >-><SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >New</I ></SPAN > menu item if necessary to do this.</P ></LI ><LI ><P >Choose the <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >Build</I ></SPAN > -> <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >Templates</I ></SPAN > menu item, and then select the ARM PID hardware.</P ></LI ><LI ><P >While still displaying the <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >Build</I ></SPAN > -> <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >Templates</I ></SPAN > dialog box, select either the "stubs" package template to build a GDB stub image, or the "cygmon" template to build the CygMon ROM Monitor.
