Far too much delay. I think the best way forward now is to focus on Evgeniy Dushitov's contribution (port for AT91SAM9263) initially: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000819 This seems sensible because: a) The patches themselves are well abstracted. b) Some people are already using these patches as a baseline for further AT91SAM9 ports. c) There is support for running this port under QEMU, allowing wider testing. I would like to invite everyone with an interest in AT91SAM9 support for eCos to add themselves to the CC list for bug 1000819 and contribute to the review process. Let's make this a community effort. John Dallaway eCos maintainer http://www.dallaway.org.uk/john
