Hi, I' m a newbie to ecos. I wonder if ecos is compatible with linux. For example, if I downloaded a small web browser's source for linux, can I make it run properly in an embedded system whose OS is ecos?
Thanks,
Ausun

eCos is not directly compatible. Red Hat initiated the EL/IX initiative
(see http://sources.redhat.com/elix ) to define subsets of the Linux API
that make sense for different classes of embedded devices. eCos is
compatible with level 1 of the EL/IX API, which means that if the
application is written to only use functions in level 1, then it will work.
For a web browser, there is one obvious bit that would not be EL/IX level 1
compatible - the graphical display. How you move forward on that is up to
you.
