}
This specifies that the platform package should be parented under the MIPS packages, requires the TX39 variant
HAL and all configuration settings should be saved in
cyg/hal/hal_mips_tx39_jmt3904.h
.
The
compile
line specifies which files should be built when this package is enabled, and the
define_proc
defines
some macros that are used to access the variant or architecture (the
_TARGET_
name is a bit of a misnomer) and
platform configuration options.
Startup Type
eCos uses an option to select between a set of valid startup configurations. These are normally RAM, ROM and pos-
sibly ROMRAM. This setting is used to select which linker map to use (i.e., where to link eCos and the application
in the memory space), and how the startup code should behave.

"
When targeting the JMR3904 board it is possible to build
the system for either RAM bootstrap, ROM bootstrap, or STUB
bootstrap. RAM bootstrap generally requires that the board
is equipped with ROMs containing a suitable ROM monitor or
equivalent software that allows GDB to download the eCos
application on to the board. The ROM bootstrap typically
requires that the eCos application be blown into EPROMs or
equivalent technology."
}
The
no_define
and
define
pair is used to make the setting of this option appear in the file
system.h
instead of
the default specified in the header.
Build options
A set of options under the components
CYGBLD_GLOBAL_OPTIONS
and
CYGHWR_MEMORY_LAYOUT
specify how
eCos should be built: what tools and compiler options should be used, and which linker fragments should be used.
cdl_component CYGBLD_GLOBAL_OPTIONS {

"
Global build options including control over
compiler flags, linker flags and choice of toolchain."
