This stable release is the culmination of a substantial testing effort and incorporates many contributions to the public eCos project which have been previously available via the project's development repository only. New run-time features include: * Cortex-M, FR30 and 68K/ColdFire architectural ports (extending hardware compatibility to a total of 13 processor architectures) * CAN, I2C, SPI, framebuffer, disk and ADC infrastructure * Flash memory infrastructure revisions for improved flexibility * a FAT filesystem implementation * a port of the lwIP lightweight TCP/IP stack * additional services for the eCos FreeBSD TCP/IP stack * HAL and driver packages for many new processor variants, target platforms and peripheral devices * enhancements to the RedBoot bootstrap and debug firmware (based on the eCos HAL) * GCC 4 compatibility for improved code generation eCos 3.0 also delivers stable eCos configuration tools which extend host platform coverage to GTK+ 2.x on Linux and to Windows Vista. Further details and download instructions are available at the eCos website: http://ecos.sourceware.org/
