You might start from here: http://micrium.com/atmel/AT91SAM7.html and
port the IAR code as necessary. The biggest problem will probably be the
porting of assembler code since the GNU assembler syntax and directives
are somewhat different.

There is an GNU based STR711 port here
http://www.yagarto.de/projects/ucosarm/index.html that may also serve as
a useful example - the memory mapping I/O and configuration will of
course be different, but between teh GNU code for STR7 and the IAR code
for your targer, you should be able to synthesise a working build.

Another GNU example for ARM:

Thank you very much. I will take a look at them.

I already done it. If you look in the zip file from micrium, you will
find the port for GNU :P

if you need a sample, let me know.

Hi Jonathan,

Could you please send me your example with startup file and link script.
I still have problem to port uCOS to AT91SAM7S, the board always get
reset when doing context switch.

Thank you very much,

Lisong

Hi,

here you could fine the mini project that I have done for SAM256EK 
board.

hope thats help

Hi,

The main.out file is missing from the output.
I need it to debug with olimex ARM-USB-TINY.
I tried to give it in make file but no effect.
May be syntax was wrong or do I need separate editor to modify it?

I have modified make file after looking into some other some other 
example projects which came along the jtag. I found that they just copy 
main.elf to main.out !!!! :
'cp main.elf main.out'

Even after the changes I could not succeed.

Can anybody modify the makefile I am using(attached with the post) and 
post it back on forum.

Also little insight into how it works will be appreciated.

Regards
Rohit

Why not just load main.elf? The actual name is irrelevant.

Well you could say that about any number of other alternative RTOSes. 
Why embOS in particular? It does share a similarity with Micro-C/OS II, 
including using an identical task monitor utility. It has a more 
sophisticated scheduler. However Micro-C/OS II you can use 
non-commercially for the price of the book.
