Unfortunately, the CygMon image you provide only works with Fujitsu SPARClite engineering board, which is not available commercially (at least not in the U.S.). The SPARClite evaluation kit available from Fujitsu ( http://www.fujitsumicro.com/pdf/831ek.pdf ), although similar, doesn't have ethernet port and what's worse, has different serial controller and timer chips. And since SygMon source is not publicly available, the only way to boot eCos is with "target sparclite..." Now, don't get me wrong. So far I like eCos very much! My only humble suggestion would be to use commercially available boards for your future ports to make it possible to evaluate eCos on the real hardware. Best Regards, Gene Kozin C-Cube Microsystems
