Greg,
Thanks for your help. Now we have RTEMS with remote GDB
and asserts. So, I think we are covered. :-).
I still working out some issues with RTEMS, and hopefully
have a patch pretty soon.
BTW, I am using the cut that you merged. There were very
few changes to get it compiling.
So far I have merged the "screen" driver for RTEMS with the
BIOS based one. I'll leave the module called src_bios.c
and later we might want to rename it to scr_hwvga.c as
you suggested perviously.
Rosimildo.
