Hello,

Does someone knows the cheapest micro-controller eCos is available for? Including a minimum of 4 KB RAM and 32 KB ROM.
Perhaps just a second hand PC depending on what the application is?
Cerfcubes are quite featureful for their price: http://www.intrinsyc.com/products/cerfcube/
The Atmel AT91 boards are cheaper at ~$200.

You will need a 32 bit processor (but no MMU required). You will need about 200 kByte of RAM as a minimum. Minimum price to
me would look as BOM of 50-100 EURO ??

even 128K of RAM.We ran ecos on such a target and the application itself took
up half the rest being ecos code.

eCos can (frequently, depending on configuration) fit into much smaller than that, but it's always better to have more RAM while developing.
