Those boards are all ancient, hard-to-find, and expensive if you can find them. eCosPro supports many newer boards, but it's not free. > The cheapest ARM-based board I could find is Atmel AT91SAM7S > <http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/devices.asp?family_id=605#1586>, > around USD 100 in digikey. > > Olimex boards are not on that list some are eCos compatible: - > http://www.olimex.com/dev/lpc-h2294.html "Native hardware > support by eCOS the anonymous eCos CVS tree has this target > inside 'olpch2294' eCos target", priced at EUR 70.95 > > Those boards have no ethernet ports. I think support for some of Atmel's ARM parts (AT91SAM926x) has been recently committed, but I have no experience with eCos on those parts. Digging a old PC out of the back of the closet is another option. Boot RedBoot off a CD or floppy and then load program images from a TFTP server. -- Grant -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
