Here's what I've been told: "I believe [eCos] can run well in 96K, depending of course on the application [...] Part of its design is that you can easily configure out anything you don't need, and the OS code will shrink down to just what you do need." and: "eCOS is highly configurable, as it was designed for true embedded systems. It'll run in as little as a few k. You can configure it to an insane degree, like specifying how much space is available for malloc(), and which malloc() implementation you want, since there are often application specific issues with performance. Unlike most operating systems, eCOS was designed to be deterministic and hard-real time. It also supports a variety of ARM processors." That makes it sound like a contender. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@laptop.org http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
