Absolutely! Every one that's in the repository is for some board or
device that [at least at
some time in the past] existed and the platform could be built and run
with no software "tweaks".
But are development/eval boards deployed? I would have thought that
largely microcontrollers would go on some custom PCB
I disagree - there are many "development/eval" boards that make it
into the real world (I personally know of many*many thousands...)
Yes, there may be some development boards that are modified, however
slightly, before deployment, but I firmly believe that the basic
structure of eCos should be sound enough that these changes should
be easily added/adjusted in the various HAL and other packages.
