I have no idea as to how up to date our patch is but I will be will to provide our source if anybody is interested. I have also used the port to build some test applications for these devices but nothing enterprise level yet. We use the Redboot port as boot loader for our Linux platforms. I have a personal copyright assignment for eCos, but will probably need a blanket company wide in order to contribute this work. Regards John Eigelaar
