Re: Red Hat backs away from eCos?


It seems that the CPU vendors would have a vested interest in
keeping eCos alive. Have the eCos principals looked into sponsorship
by a company like Intel?  Or, better yet, maybe a coalition of vendors
such as Arm, Intel, MIPS, etc. It's clear that eCos and open source
tools lower the barrier to entry for embedded systems development,
which in the long run should drive chip sales.

Just a thought... (and probably not original)
