 From what I could tell, the original Technologic boards (TS7200, etc) 
were based pretty closely on the Cirrus eval boards. Technologic started 
their version Redboot using the Cirrus modifications to eCos 2.x from 
about 2005. Cirrus updated their code for a while and released it 
publicly on their web site, but I believe that Technologic stayed with 
the original fork.  A few years back, Brian Austin at Cirrus claimed 
that the company was going to release the code to the public repository, 
but no more was heard from them.
