There is very little development or maintenance work being done on the open-source tree. Browsing the CVS repository via the web doesn't appear to work (the entire "net" tree seems to have vanished), though I think checking out a copy via CVS on the command line does still work. I've been using eCos in one product line for 15 years, and that product line is still being updated and still doing well. We'll stick with eCos as we continue to maintain/update those products. But, I wouldn't recommend the open-source version of eCos for a brand-new product. One area where several people have expressed concern is the FreeBSD-based network stack. It's based on a very old FreeBSD snapshot and hasn't seen much in the way of updates since then. I've commited fixes for a few problems and to keep GCC happy, but AFAIK, nobody has ever made any consistent effort to bring over fixes and updates made by the "upstream" FreeBSD maintainers. That said, I don't know anything about the commercial version from eCos Centric and have no experience with it. > Do you know something about this?
