eCos: The Open Source Real Time Operating System For Embedded Systems
eCos is an opensource RealTime Operating System (RTOS), which differs in many ways from General Purpose OS's (GPOS) like Linux and windows. Besides the GP/RT part, the benefits of using eCos in an embedded device is size and not least configurability.
This presentation will explain some af the main differences between a GPOS and an RTOS like eCos. I will give my definition of "Realtime" claiming this to be the most correct one ;o)
It will also give an fast overview of the eCos arcitecture, and how the configuration tool works.
... and last hopefully do some demo.
