Quick update to my update - we're already reaching bsp_start since it's called through the sysinit functions. What I meant was getting to the user's Init task - i.e. going through stubs of the entire initialization chain as much as is possible, and hitting the user-defined Init task. Once that's done, I'll be filling in the stub with working / minimal code enough to get the console working and hello.exe passing. > - Port FreeBSD's console code to get to hello world with our stub > > I'm aiming to get to a hacky working hello.exe as soon as possible, > and then we can work on making all the initialization routines, the > linker script. etc. be clean and perfectly correct instead of merely > functional in the emulator. > > Cheers _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
