Dear Jürgen, in my opinion eCos has some advantages:
- small footprint - good realtime behaviour - very short interrupt latency times, minimal overhead for task context switching - available for small microcontrollers (arm7,cortex m3) I have less experience with linux systems, but i think, linux has some advantages, when the application works with a graphical user interface. I have been working with eCos for about 10 years already and I have made very good experiences. I have made already a port for AT91RM9200 for some high performance products, but developed some low level products, based on ARM7 controllers, too. So eCos is suitable for a wide product range. Have a look to www.vipa.de, a lot of the products there (PLCs, communication modules, I/O-Modules) are based on eCos.

Hey I wonder: why don't you use Linux on such a powerfull ARM9? We also still use eCos, but more and more I have to defend it against using Linux instead. Maybe you can help me defending eCos ;-).
