Hence two ways are exists. Either to have a real target (=board) which is supported by eCos or install Linux. If you are advanced user and familiar with Linux and GNU you can install some kind of Virtual Machine and eCos for Linux on the guest OS (Linux) to play with it having no real hardware. But, this is an off-topic for the discuss-list, however, you can find the answers in the list's history. Sergei > On Mon, 27 Apr 2009, Sergei Gavrikov wrote: >> It's seems I missed something.
