In the last week I have received an offer from somebody who plans to look into such a port. If you are interested in helping out, let me know and I can put the two of you in touch.

Are these in development? eCos device driver support is still very limited, unfortunately. The Cogent HAL package does contain some basic serial I/O facilities, mainly for diagnostics and debugging purposes. There has been one third party port of a TCP/IP stack to eCos. This was done by EBS Inc, http://www.etcbin.com , and it is not an open source product. I am sure that ports of other stacks will follow, but I do not have any more details yet.
