:(( Sorry to hear that the toolchain can not support eCos. According to my
understanding, it is due to the porting of eCos for vrc4373 using 32-bit
register instead of full 64-bit register. Is that the all the differences?

How much the eCos Developer Kit cost? I am judging the option now. :)
Anyway, in the mean time I will go ahead to build the tool on the eCos
website.

Thanks for your reply!
